I wouldn't be happy with all that dust in
front of my house! Nice photos though...

I passed down Sheil Road

the other day and I was really impressed by the quality housing which has replaced those flats. I was past it in a flash but it looks as though some thought
and design has gone into the estate. I'll lay money on the residents being far happier living in a 'real' house than one of those high rise
'apartments'.
Ermine tastes much the same as sackcloth when there's nothing left to eat.
You used to be able to look inside it at one time I don't think there's much too see,mind you it was dark.
Havn't been near the airaid shelter by Crocky park Manshion for years but that pic looks like they have dug the entrance out. The earth used to go up much higher and you had to drop down to get into the entrance.
The flats on Sheil road and the likes of Corinth tower and the ones on Cantril farm (Hillsdean,etc) were built by French company Camus who used a pre fab system of concrete sections one on top of the other. This can be seen in the easthetic of the buildings with each pre fab section making up rooms and the sections between calconies. Unfortunately the concrete mix was apparently not of great quality and had led to cracks in the oad bearing structure which although it could have been fixed, would have cost more than any redevelopment would have returned. Shame because I really liked these flats - the scale was monumental, especially the ones on Shiel road which looked megalithic from certain viewpoints like the junction of St Oswald street/edge lane and on Queens drive by Holly lodge/larkhill garage.
aahh, that's nice. We used to go there a lot when my son was little.
The bells in the Municipal Buildings - Liverpool Council Offices.
I could do a seperate thread if anyone wants me to provide more pics.

You could do a story on why an office building has bells.
You can always count on Americans to do the right thing - after they've tried everything else.

Yes, it's all boarded up still. Shame really, as it looks like a nice building. Glad Dave got some decent interior snaps though, as too often these places get converted and all the old features are ripped out.
On an unrelated note (and not in Liverpool, hence no thread of it's own!), if there are any car enthusiasts here, I recently explored the Longbridge Rover plant, and the photos can be found on my site here. A couple of other guys I know who went there took a journalist there and there's six pages in the latest Top Gear magazine covering it!
Can anyone shed any light on these:-
They are found under here >>>>>
I am guessing now = could they be 'air vents' of some sort ??
