Brian, I enyoy reading your stories but I find the one about a man being lynched in Lodge Lane very disturbing. Are you sure it really happened? Liverpool had quite a large and influential Jewish...

Brian, I enyoy reading your stories but I find the one about a man being lynched in Lodge Lane very disturbing. Are you sure it really happened? Liverpool had quite a large and influential Jewish...
I like the exterior of Speke Hall. The inside is largely Victorian kitsch. The café charges extortionate prices. I think I paid £2 (or more) for a bottle of Sasparilla. Fortunately I'm a member of...
Oh and this is for all you people running down Smithdown Road!
:064: :008:
This is what I think of Smithdown Road:PDT_Aliboronz_11:
I agree. They are horrid. The whole area between Earle Road and Spekeland Road is an example of how not to rejuvenate an area. Earle Road used to be like a continuation of Lawrence Road, maybe...
No, it's just spreading its usual disinformation. Still, I suppose we can thank the DP and Echo for saving the Mathew Street Festival, and congratulate them on their unbiased reporting of Everton's...
I think it's one of the old points of access to the Mersey in these parts before Grassendale Park came into being. It was probably built up a bit in order to manage the Mersey mud! Where the modern...
Otterspool Road (aka Love Lane locally until it was gated and the loving stopped) still leads to the station house from Jericho Lane. The station house is occupied by someone in the black cab...
Thank God for that. Too many people are sweating propery in the town centre (and elsewhere). It's not illegal but there's something IMO immoral about it, especially if it's not properly maintained...
Great atmospheric picture of the lighthouse, Gerard - one of the best I have seen of it. :PDT11
Is this a merged thread? Mosques and the minarets at the Pier Head? :ninja:
Think of how it looked two years ago! Now that the Florrie is about to be rennovated (I still won't believe it until I see it), and there are signs of new developments at the bottom of Mill Street...
Hi Kat,
I have addressed the issue about safety above.
In terms of who foots the bill for rennovation, I think people who don't have a morgage or have paid for their property should be put in...
I'm sorry to hear about your experiences of not feeling safe. I don't travel much by bus because I'm only 5 minutes away from a train station and (anecdotally) I have never felt unsafe. I know of one...
Have you been recently? I think both Mill Street and Park Road are looking better than they have done for many a year with all the new pavements, street furniture etc. Mill Street still has more...
Great posts. George Melly said that Liverpool marks its children (in a good way), and your posts demonstrate that.
.
Are you suggesting this is what occurred in the Edge Lane area? If not, I'm not sure how this is relevant to this debate.
Again, your anecdotes are interesting but how do they fit the...
So you are arguing that we should first encourage congestion in the city centre BEFORE we attempt to remove it by having an integrated public transport system? Why not cut to the chase? Avoid the...
Or perhaps Toxteth Park? As the city expanded and Toxteth Park for whatever reason (outside protestant ecclesiastical circles) bit the dust as a term for a recently incorporated township, 'Toxteth'...
The policies underpinning New Heartlands were set in motion when Liverpool was in terminal decline. Things have changed. A rethink is called for.
Has there EVER been a case where people were...
I saw the article in the Guardian about L17 (Aigburth). It made me aware of how you have to take this kind of article with a pinch of salt. Dyckhoff clearly has to pull something together and doesn't...
The problem with Aigburth Drive is that it is used as a rat run during rush hour and cars tear along it. It's a wide road and if you are trying to cross it with a young family to get into the park or...
One of the downsides of turning former commercial properties into residential accomodation is that if it isn't done sympathetically it can have the effect of shaping the direction regeneration takes...
Certainly have. :PDT11
The second one looks like it would make an excellent cover for a book.
Whether it's Victorian/Edwardian rennovations of large houses along Princes Drive, Aigburth Drive, wherever - all I see is success with people getting a good return for their investments. Where it...
