    St Domingo road up on Everton ridge with the likes of Havelock st, Mitford st and Hobart st (which is still like Everest) must've been a joy to steery down.

    Bombdies around Islington and Norton Street supplied our bommie wood for years on end during the 70s.

    They're the ones Ged,it was easier to cart a greased/waxed board up,Ged than the Steery after sliding down from the top...talk about madness alls ya had to grip was the front of the board bent and someone gave you a hefty push.

    Hey Ged,I'm suprised you're not out photographing the long roads off Breck Road as they have started pulling them down.

    Oh as I was young and easy in the mercy of his means,
    Time held me green and dying

    Do you mean Walton Breck rd ??

    There was no demolition going on up Breck rd when I was there yesterday !

    All the streets off Breck rd are in good shape - refurbished terraced houses - and further up heading towards Everton rd the houses are all 'new property'


    I think you may mean the streets along by LFC ?? - Walton Breck rd, many which are tinned up awaiting demolition and some already gone.
