Thought I had one of this place-always liked the signs on it!

I remember it as a photographic shop,not as Cousins-as that was...
I had a google too,looks like they were going to spell it properly but decided to adopt the American way due to the impact of the Civil War...more here...

Luckily they've kissed and made up,and the new development is going ahead. It looks far nicer than what's there now!

No "u" in "labour" ; no problem for a Latin motto but it's in English.
Dave.
It's for weather protection. I have some pix of the inside,but I can't find them right now. There isn't much to see though,even the floor has gone.
Dave.
A rather big house and Wynsor's shoe shop in the middle of East Prescot Rd...

Bump-thought editing the post would pull the topic up but not so.
Dave.
I liked the Reece's one-didn't Sayers take them over? Or was that Cousin's?
Dave.
There's still a little bit of Chestnut Street left,here it is...

...before the uni extended the baths a few years...
Did you ever manage to upload those pix? I'd like to see the Seymour St ones.
Dave.
Thanks for those pix-what's also interesting is that the plinth it's on is not solid,it's clearly hollow,as there is a door in the pics. I wonder what's inside? Cannonballs? lol.
Dave.
What do those random numbers signify on the sign? They look odd!
Dave.
That looks an old one. What's the front picture of?
Dave.
Ooh,I know where! It's Stanley Dock! lol. Great reflection in the water!
Dave.
Cafe isn't posh enough,in the same way that "flats" isn't,for they're "apartments" now. They're probably still not big enough to swing a cat in,though. ;)
Dave.
Did anyone make it inside the Park Palace as part of the biennial? i went to see it when it was supposed to be open with an exhibition,but it wasn't,with no notices on it to say why. Grr.
Dave.
That's an interesting building. Does anyone know what it was?
Dave.
Thanks for that close-up pic,I always wondered exactly what it was. You can't quite see from the street. Is that his family motto?
Dave.
That's pretty impressive-I didn't know that!
Dave.
That *is* good news. Hopefully another notch in expanding the city centre and bringing some life back into Park Lane.
Dave.
I have to laugh at that underwhelming banner on the station. "The Northwest",how generically vague. Of course big things will happen there,it's a quarter of the country lol. Why they put Liver birds...
It's for all the Americans-it will dispense GREENbacks lol. A touch above the usual signs-very posh! lol.
Dave.
There's another ornate one on West Derby Rd which would be nice to see working again,and a slightly less fancy one in Botanic Park quietly rusting away.
Dave.

What a lovely house-it looks like something from Chester!
