Can anyone shed any light on these:-

They are found under here >>>>>


I am guessing now = could they be 'air vents' of some sort ??

Phredd

Yes their are air vents for an underground car oark I believe

Who would like to guess where this is?



Great detailing!

I missed the beginning of this thread, so missed this photo.
I took the same pic myself and was going to use it as a "Quiz" for "Old Liverpool", but seeing as nobody got the GPO in Victoria Street, I changed my mind.
This gargoyle (yes, I know it's not strictly a gargoyle) is one of about 5 on one of the buildings in Victoria Street.

I took this one just after Christmas...Jerome Buildings. There are more of these creatures next door (Carlisle buildings).

That's right. They were originally used for the warhouses that were built under the square.

He looks lovely - all decorated for Christmas!

This is an interesting building. It seems to have been converted from early 19th C terraced housing. The row was adapted at some point into a clothing factory. Given the long Jewish associations with this area, I suspect this business was Jewish owned.

I took some myself whilst walking around the London Rd Area.

Where did you say I might see neolithic (is that right?) footprints of teenagers and deer? Near Otter's Pool Park? How really neat.

Around Formby and Freshfields apparently.

NO! It's Freshfield, not Freshfields! Whoever made the sign on the bypass roundabout should be shot! A classic example of IASS* if ever there was one.

Putting an "s" on Tesco is OK, but it should be written as Tesco's, meaning "I'm going to Tesco's supermarket."

Hows about sticking 'the' on the fornt of things, ie - going to 'the' adsa etc....

You know,I don't know why I did that.When I say it out loud I say Freshfield.

[taffy]

Can't imagine why these ended up at Otterspool !!

When I lived at Coxhead Farm during WW2 there were thing like that under the railway bridge, they were supposed to be dragged across the lane in the event of enemy troops invading.
