Excuse the poor quality as it's been resized - but this shows Tunnel Road with those single story houses (that someone raised a question on) to the right hand side....!

We've found that they were not houses or cottages but offices for coal merchants.Originally Posted by Jona76

The railway property is right at the back of the terrace, with not even back yards to them which proves they were not built for residential purposes.
If that picture is original, it will be one of the 1911 Police Strike postcards.
Apart from Titanic cards, they must be about the most expensive Liverpool related postcards.

Does anyone know the history of this building or who owns it? It's situated just outside the Royal Liverpool Hospital on the right hand side.
Jona, it has been a long time but I will tell you what I remember. I think this is the building that used to be a welding shop. The guy that owned it lived above it. He fought the council to stop it being demolished in the '70s and won. He demanded freehold property the same size in exchange instead of the paltry sum they offered him. All I remember about him is that he was fair haired and not very big in stature, his name was Jimmy. I knew him from him hanging out at the Blue Star garage in Smithdown Rd where the taxi drivers used to have a card school. He was an interesting person, he used to make metal puzzles which I never saw anyone solve, he could take them apart and put them back together and you hardly saw his hands move. He also used to carve wooden chains and give them away.Does anyone know the history of this building or who owns it? It's situated just outside the Royal Liverpool Hospital on the right hand side.

You can always count on Americans to do the right thing - after they've tried everything else.

I saw someone vaguely matching that description going in there a few months ago-not that you'd think the place was actually lived in,given its appearance.

I last saw him over 25 years ago, he would be in his 60/70's now if he is still around.
