Great Homer Street looking North and quite a bit to see on here. At the bottom is my secondary school, St. Gregorys which became Campion and was demolished only about 18 months ago. A new development is already on its site. Just up from that on the pic is the red brick Rossy School on Roscommon Street. We moved into that for a year in about 1974 due to some work on St Gregs.
The other red brick building over to the right by the high rise is St. Peters church and the Shrewsbury Club which is still there with all the new housing near it. The middle of the photo is taken up by maisonettes which were on Sackville Street, Dorrington Street, Arkwright Street and Lower Arkwright Street.
Beyond those, only 3 of those 8 tower blocks are still standing. The 2 on Conway Street and Marwood Tower at Greaty points with Kirkdale Rd. The photo is definitely pre 88 due to some of the high rise still being there. Everton Park sports centre and its footy pitches behind stands out too.

Don't know why there's a blue tint to it George, perhaps because it's Everton
I was thinking St Gregs is a new School until I realised it opened in 1961 ish! I see the tower block I once lived in, great pic Ged !
I don't know the area very well but I did have ancestors living in Arkwright Street. Is Great Homer Street the long road on the left of the pic?
Yes,missus

Everton Park was designed as layered ampitheatre bowls to enable public events to be held there. As can be seen by this view looking East across Netherfield Road, there is a curvature to the hillside which was intentional when laid out. Sadly, this usage has never been taken up properly though plans have been made in the past but scuppered along the way for one reason or another.

I'd love to see inside that house. I bet the rooms are nice. I wonder if they have kept original features?
The original model of Everton Park published in the Echo had a large lake on it for sailboats and I think it ran down to Gt Homer St.
