Gardens, Tenements and Courts

[Fergie]

That Summerseat is like time stood still isn't it. I wish i'd got into this when my parents were alive, there's so much I'd have asked them now but in your late teens and early 20s I thought your mouth was for eating chips and drinking lager. How far have you got with your research, have you tried the L.R.O. search room or the genealogy forum on here?

Hello Fergie.

Arley Street Scotch houses that i'd previously posted up on another thread because Gerard's dad was born there. These were facing the Non Pareil pub.

You'll have seen the Portland Gardens ones earlier in this thread then. If you mean how do you see the full sized photo, just click on it. If you mean you have some you want to post up, scroll down and go into Manage Attachments then click browse and upload your pics from your p.c.

Thanks Ged and nice talkin with yer the other day.
Wasnt there a building close to the baths called Arden House,a massive red brick job,owned by the Sally army? Used to put homeless men up,or is that imagination after all these years.I recall a Salvation Army band setting up by the Round Counter on Scottie road on Saturdays to collect money and spread their word.

[Ged]

This is the one mate. Great talking to you too.

This is one of my favorite photos by Martin Parr (taken in 1983), I've got a postcard of it hanging by my desk. It seems fairly mundane when you first look at it,with the girl skipping happily in the sunshine, then you notice the car parked on its side. Brilliant stuff.

[Ged]

Nancy, I was wondering why that car is parked like that. Err, I mean the blue one

Where can you get this magazine ?

[Ged]

It's free in a number of places in town, cafes, 08 place, Liverpool vision, conservation centre, library etc. There is an article on some things we shouldn't have done as a city too - the usual suspects though - ie - not demolished the Overhead, cotton exchange facade, customs house, sailors home, Exchange buildings, filled in the canal etc...
