Dragged here to be kitted out for my new school uniform every August.

Ha, I thought that said "knitted out" for a sec. How old was that school uniform? 1950's? A knitted blazer....be the envy of all your school-mates.

Just spent another hour going through the updated pages Ged, superb stuff.

Thanks Mart.

It's a good job I have my camera on me at all times. I was dropping one of my daughters off near Newsham Park and went down Hampstead Road and there's some very distinctive and uniquely designed properties down there and on the corner of Balmoral Road. Then Elm Vale which runs right across to Prescot Road has properties of different era/rooflines etc.

Ooops - you probably meant the old records office stuff.....silly me

Those houses on Prescot Rd, opposite the Police Ground are being demolished now too

and no, I seen some of E.J.'s pics I hadn't seen before

[Ged]

Oh a sneaky one our Eric ha ha. As you know we used to see his stuff first on MyL but it's lucky I keep tabs on his Flickr where I speak to him. As you know with your mate Jimmy, it's amazing what's still out there to be/being discovered/unearthed.

I've got those houses in Fairfield on there from last year Mart so they'll be history soon too. Was snooping about around Robinson Willey and down by Binns Rd last week as well.

Will pass you all Jimmy passes to me, he said it was OK.

Ged!

What are you doing snooping around Robinson's willey behind the binns?

The one area that gets to me (other than the city centre) when I look thru innacityliving is Everton/L5. There is hardly anything left. The city planners just destroyed the whole area. It is not an area I knew as a child and the only building I remember as an adult was the Ann Fowler Home, which seemed to be atop of a hill and could be seen from miles away. Because I know so little about the area, I think the slum clearance went too far, taking away so much character of the area. If I go up Scotland Road, there's nothing other that St Athony's church. Was the housing that bad? Whilst Netherfield Road looks nice landscaped - I would like to see the area as it was in the 60s. Would like the views of someone who knows what the area was like.

My Aunt lives in Elm Vale. I went there a lot as a teenager. My cousin and I who both went to the Cavern discovered Freddie Starr used to sing at the ice rink near them, very cool! I hope they are not pulling them down. My aunt lives close to the main road (Prescot Rd, I think)

Anfield Cemetery gates in Cherry Lane and there's a story behind the last time they were used - allegedly.

Excellent, Ged. Do you know if the St. Mary's one is actually old.. or just looks old? I mean the Gothic archway rather than what is to the left of it which looks relatively recent, Victorian or later.

I am guessing that since the Gothic archway is part of the church complex it might actually be medieval although it can be misleading because the Victorians built a lot of things in the Gothic style, the cemetery entranceway being a good example.
