    No tram lines, although you can see a dark line running along both sides of the road, down the middle.

    I was having a look around the Pier Head area this week and walked along Princes Parade. This photo shows a small section of the old cobbled setts roadway with its railway lines still intact. These lines carried the trains from the Waterloo Tunnel to the now demolished Riverside Station and also the now derelict wooden stage at the far north end of the parade.

    Default Upper Hampton St Liverpool 8

    Interesting survival. The buildings on the far right are St Margaret of Antioch's Primary school, Prince's Park; the derelict one on the near right was the old St Margaret's Institute. On the left hand side are some new developments.

    Sadly St Margaret's school is threatened with closure. The whole St Margaret's complex is a fascinating survival of 19th C efforts to use a church as a centre for social improvement, all funded by the congregation.

    Default Great Charlotte Street

    Cobbled road surfaces enabled the horse's shoes to grip on the road surface, perhaps more important on gradients. Cobbles are robust and react well to movement within the road surface. Smooth flagged crossings were provided for pedestrians, as shown below, at crossing points. And smooth paving flags are used for the gutters, to aid the run off water to the drains.

    Photo of the Royal Amphitheatre [which was the predecessor of the Royal Court - same site] looking down Gt Charlotte St. from Roe Street, with old St John's market [by John Foster Junior] on the right.
