There are two bees carved into the Trueman Street side of this building - can anyone explain how this came about? They look very modern, and not at all like the rest of the building

thanks, mathewarnold! I'm going to have to get up and stand next to that hut one morning...
thanks, irishseashipping.com. I think we're close to the answer. Stanlow / Ellesmere Port seems reasonable, though this site claims it's at Eastham Lock
anyone been down to the Pier Head yet? Any thoughts on the new canal and landscaping?
heard it again this morning - Sunday, and the clocks have gone back, but still went off at 8.45am.
Princess Drive is an odd one, considering all of that was pretty much a blank canvas when the roads were laid out. I'm not sure where it was intended to go, it just kind of peters out at the...
what questions, No-ones_Princess?
thanks, Tom Jones - this isn't a Fire Station, the siren goes off every day at 0845, and is audible across a large part of South Liverpool. Tens of thousands of people must hear it, and it's been...
well said, davec. When I first discovered toxteth.net I think I read every page, but hadn't looked at it for ages until I referred somebody to it the other day, and discovered it was gone.
Is...
..and we've always been at war with Eastasia. Those new car park signs which appeared a couple of months ago confuse me too...hmmm, do I want to park in Cultural, or Commercial, or Shopping?
I...
so, now we're back online - are you going to spill the beans, gorgeous?
the suspense is killing me - where is it?
I think we should be told!
Is he a creature of habit? :)
I'd love to know if anybody has an answer for this. I remember it as a teenager in the late 70s living near Aigburth Vale, and still hear it regularly near Penny Lane. I think it's a bit later...
used this station for the first time today. Lordy, what a white elephant! It's bigger than some international airports I've used, but the place was almost deserted. Nowhere to buy a newspaper either!...
Pretty close! As I remember it, the sign was invariably altered to read:
WILFUL DAMAGE TO SEATS, ETC.
THE EXECUTIVE WILL PRESS H I S PEN I S AGAINST OFFENDERS
which is a little bit...
Whenever I think of Liverpool buses from the MPTE days in the 1970s, I'm always reminded of the almost ubiquitous sign fixed to the windows.
WILFUL DAMAGE TO SEATS, ETC.
THE EXECUTIVE WILL...
Ha! The Catharine St one is lifted from my site here http://canning.merseyworld.com/ritz.htm. I don't claim copyright of course, it's an LRO picture, photocopied by me then scanned and given a tacky...
Sirob and Merseywail, thanks to you both for posting all of these precious photos. They belong to us all now.

Sirob, you say the film is...
I think I can remember the L&D, and mybe the Silver Sands. One or both on Devonshire / Belvedere, in the early-ish 80s. I was very young, though. Young enough that it was still a thrill to actually...
I've been looking at those pics for the last couple of days, and came on yo to see if anyone had posted a link yet. Those pics are fantastic, he says he's writing a book but I think they're so good...
Another heartfelt thankyou from me to all who have posted pics here. Fantastic.
Here's a pic I took a couple of days ago of the bust and a wider view. Looks a bit lost between the menu boards, I doubt many people even notice it.
The bust of Jung is still there - it's in the wall of what is now Flanagan's Apple, on the opposite corner to the Armadillo. I was there in 1976 at the unveiling, as a very confused 9 year old whose...
