I have just arrived back from a day visit to London, in an office overlooking the 'Gurkin'. That has a love/hate reaction, but at least it is instantly recognisable. I'm all for innovation, but it...

Given last nights performance, maybe the England team should log on and review the census during the next game, and Yo members take their place on the pitch :exclaim:
Great piece of writing Brian, something I am sure will resonate with all former residents of the tennies throughout the city.
It's ironic that after it burnt down it was replaced by a fire station. I remember it well, The Wellington (it was known as The Higsons) was frequented by most of my relatives.
I had a budgie jacket, it really took off!
I went to see Alfie on the Playhouse, I think it was circa 1983.
I started to go back to the Playhouse this year to see three totally different shows;
- The 39 Steps, great parody of...
London Road is where I got all my clothes in the 1960s/70s. Starting the gear my mam bought me in TJs, progressing to All Mankind when I thought I had a bit of fashion sense. Finally able to shop...
I think the original statue that sat on top of The Walker Art Gallery is on display in The Conservation Centre off Victoria Street.
Hi Jeahan
My mam used to shop in Soho Street and shopped in Nellie Rimmer's Fruit and Veg, and Eddie Weighwell's butchers. I used to call into Caplans shop for sweets on my way to The Friary.
Yes, you are right, this was shot in November 1986 in Gerard Gardens. The tenements were demolished the following summer.
St Gregs was my old school as well, sad to see it being demolished. I drove past it only a couple of weeks ago, I would have liked a final look around for old time' sake.
Yo members, or Trade Unionists. These deaths and injuries were largely unreported, with only 'good news' stories released to the media. I would be interested to hear from anyone whose familiy where...
Some great posts, and it would good to hear from any other members who relatives may have worked on the tunnels.
I think the film is 'Homes Not Roads' made by the Vauxhall Neighbourhood Council. The film documented the plight of the residents of the Liverpool tenement blocks, and the possible impact of a...
Well done, bravo Deb, a magnifico acheivement. :handclap:

I always went to The Gaumont in the late 60s early 70s. It would screen the films after they had finished their run on The Odeon, and was half the price as a result. Following closure of the...
Both Ged's model and my film Gardens of Stone (short 15 minute version) will be on display. Like Ged says, it was unthinkable at the time when we knocked around there as kids, that we would ever be...
Deb, I have had many meals in Piccolinos, great food and even better service. A real 'Bouna Sera' from real Italians when you enter (not just a guy from Kirkby putting on a Italian accent ;)).
I passed the cinema on Saturday, and noticed the new sign. I see on the pics, the entrance was £2.00 for adults and £1.00 for kids, those were the days!
I remember the Futurist had 'Sensurround'...
We had a great time at the Scottie Rd Reunion yesterday. An eclectic mix of dance, song and comedy, and that was just The Gardens!!
A couple of pics from our set, including the famous Ged on...
I thought the show was good, and the arena excellent. The show started with a gang of 'workies' trying to fix the sign which said 'Liverpoo', this off course was a set up (see Pic attched). The...
I'm off the the concert tonight, and staying in the Radisson. Decided to have a weekend in my own city, as opposed to Easyjet trips :)
The missing Fagan brother - Mickey Pierce from Only Fools and Horses :)
This was taken in Dave's bar, not Milo's.
Hi Marie
Where in Soho St did you live? Most of my relatives were from the Four Squares. See post entitled 'Gardens, Tenements, Courts' for a pic of Soho Street (last page).
