Gerard Gardens and outside No. 15d to be exact. A flat close to my heart as I was never out of there during the 70s when my Uncle Charlie and Aunty Maureen had it and my cousin Paul was one of my best mates.
This photo of an original Mary Ellen was taken pre 1950 as the lift shafts are yet to be built. Notice the tin bowl and stool and that'll no doubt be here daughter helping her hang out the washing. The childrens playground is still in situ and if this was in colour, no doubt the corpy colour scheme of cream over green would be evident.

The photo is credited to J.E. Marsh and features in a new book about Liverpool.
