    Great photos.
    I loved Old Swan because it was unspoilt and everything was still there.
    Now a big chunk of it is a car-park!

    Default Old Swan.

    Does anyone remember that when they were demolishing the opposite side of St. Oswalds street, they came across a mass grave site. My mate lived in Elm's House Road so I was forever getting the number 10 in Norton Street. I was born in Holly Street, the flats similar to Eldon Grove and later moved to Gerard Gardens when Holly Street had to make way for the new St. Anne Street Police station. I loved that community and era - no playstations or X boxes, no interacting via a joystick, screen or keyboard - proper face to face games. Does anyone have any photos of Rose Hill Police station which preceded St. Anne Street station?

    Here's a couple of photos from my Flickr set I've recently re-scanned, PhilipG thinks they may be Kent Gardens. I can't find "Kent Square" in my A-Z but I suspect this was somewhere by Kent St, south of Duke St, am I correct? I used to walk around this area fairly often as a student, fascinated by the decay and especially the housing projects (we had nothing like these at home). These two pictures were actually taken in April 1989. I'm assuming these were demolished? They looked not long for the world in these shots.

    In Tom Sleman's Strange Liverpool he claims that the Old Swan bodies may have been moved from St Johns graveyard when the foundations St Georges Hall were laid in 1838

    Yes, they are Kent Gardens.
    Here's 2 more.
    The wide view is from 1986 - note the washing.
    The other is 1990, when it was demolished.
    It was south of Duke Street, being bounded by Lydia Ann St., Kent St., Pitt & Gilbert Streets.
    The blocks were built in 1938 on the site of Kent Square and the Phoenix Foundry, and provided 90 "units" (as they were called).

    In my research on the tennies, it got that way that they could be individually recognised from one another. See if any of you can guess where these ones were? I think i've learnt how to upload pics anyway.

    Thanks for the photos Philip, and the info. Amazing. I remember a visit in '87 where my friend and I were walking around this area at night (why, I'm not sure) and there were some bonfires going in the square (or plaza, or whatever you call it), and it felt like the end of the world. The big empty paved spaces in these bullrings really make it feel so alien. I will have to track down your books, Ged, the subject matter is something that interests me quite a bit.

    Thanks Nancy. Your pics are great, saw them all only a few months ago. This is the pic I was trying to upload earlier.

    Oh sorry, that's alright Kev. This pic was supplied to me by Ron Formby of the Scottie Press who has given permission to me to use in my book (though I have yet to) so it's his copyright.
