Bloody 'ell - this forum gets better and better, I know I'm bias but it does!!! Thanks for these wonderful posts peeps

[lindylou]

Kev, you're right. It's all excellent stuff

[Kev]

It come sat a price though Lindy - my web hosting company contacted me last night and warned me that we are getting too much traffic on its present servers resulting in Yo! Liverpool using a disproportionate amount of sever resources in comparison to everyone else on the shared server! (where Yo! is stored etc...)

So it looks like an upgrade will be needed soon.

Ask for a charge/contribution Kev ! we can't expect you to pay.

[Kev]

Already have done

We don't seem to have many images of the early Corporation Dwellings.
Is this going to be the right thread, or should we have pre-1930s in a different thread?

This is Northumberland Street.
Built 1913.
Photo from "Report on the Health of the City of Liverpool, 1913" (LRO).

Phil.

I agree. I think there should be a pre 1930s Corporation dwellings thread for the likes of Northumberland st. I have quite a few pics of these type including Bevington st, Eldon Grove, Holly street and Saltney st and the like. The fore-runners to the tennies that are previously focused upon.

Here are some pics of Ged's excellent model:

Hello all, please be gentle with a forum virgin
I've been looking at www.itnsource.com at some old Pathe films of Liverpool - found a really intriguing one from I think 1972 - colour footage of a kind of angular U-shaped block of flats or tenements with a smaller block in the centre. It seems to be across the road in a SW direction from Myrtle Gardens, but much smaller, obviously - does anyone have any idea what it was called?
There are some great bits of film on there btw

Hello Melangell.

That link doesn't direct us to the actual block you were looking at but at a guess it may be Myrtle House which also contained Almond House which were the blocks across the road from Myrtle Gardens. See these below taking by Brian Saville.

Great pics by the way Kev.Thanks, and to you Gerard for the comments. That exhibition was why I didn't get down to yours at the weekend mate, it was so good I was there yesterday too, see you next weekend.

Doh! Sorry about that! i will find the actual link to the film clip and pop it on....it seems to be just off the second pic , closer to the camera.

There, I think that's it - it's the block with the washing hanging out and lots of people on the balconies?
