    H. Imagine being told to hand your pics in these days, you could store them to your pc first in seconds

    Try this for uploading, it must be easy as I can use it.

    http://imageshack.us/?no_multi=1

    Just choose the pic you want to upload from your pc and click on upload.

    A thumbnail of the pic you've chosen will appear when it's done. Just copy and paste the jargon in the 3rd box down under it into your message on the forum.


    I've had a wander down the docks - river side. It looks like a few others have too including Gregs Dad - you can go right up to the dockers clock - Victoria Tower and right up to the waters edge. If one of the gates isn't already open on the dock road, there is another way in. I've never been stopped and it's not area 51 so doubt you'd get arrested.

    We was in the sheds with the dockers and under the cranes as they unloaded cargo Ged, not just in touristy spots, although there was none then

    There used to be coppers on the gates back then.

    Thats why we needed the pass I guess? Workers only areas?

    I'll do that ASAP, all my old arty farty stuffs in the loft back home, so its explore there and do the scans before I can upload anything.

    It reminds me that I must dig out some of my old CSE artwork. It's in a suitcase in the shed ha ha.

    No, it's not touristy where I mean either, it's clandestine

    But I get your drift, it must've been great down there right in amongst it all.

    Thanks Kev. West Dingle is on my list. A very fine house demolished in the 1960s (need to check the date - unless you have it). I'm a bit ambivalent about some of the mansions. Most of the outer areas was carved up by the wealthy for their 'country estates'. Meantime, Liverpool was the most overcrowded city in the country. Something had to give.

    This might be too narrow a view. Any building or ship, anything out in the elements needs restoration work. Do you think HMS Victory in Portsmouth is the same ship that was launched in 1765? It isn't. Nor is USS Constellation in Boston harbor the same ship that was launched in 1797. Nor are Westminster Abbey or St. Paul's Cathedral the same buildings they were even a hundred years ago, not in the polluted atmosphere of London. I remember walking through the graveyard of St. Paul's some years ago and seeing all the disfigured marble statuary that had been brought down from the facade in order to be replaced. That's what restoration is all about. Still these things are national treasures, though they are technically not the same as they were before. It's impossible for them to be the same "antiques" they once were if we are to keep them.

    Colin, just checked one of your very own Bluecoat press publications. 'A tram ride to Dingle' where it is mentioned that West Dingle was demolished between 1955-60.

    Default Lost Liverpool (2)

    Following on from yesterday, my next choice is a building that has got progressively worse each time it has been rebuilt:8 Exchange Buildings. The smaller photograph (taken in 1860) is a view of James Wyatt’s elegant building (1803-9), in perfect sympathy with the Town Hall (for which he was partly responsible). Tastes changed and, in [...]

    Great pic's Colin,and Kev'! It's hard to believe, they saw fit to demolish 2 Exchange buildings,which both look more remarkable,than the present version!As for the cotton exchange being modernised......they should have been shot!!!

    Thanks for the pic Kev. I have got the original press pic of it which states on the reverse

    Liverpool Cotton Future Market Closes (1st April 1941).

    Mr V.S.S. Hannay, President othe Liverpool Cotton Association announcing the decision to close the Liverpool Cotton Futures Markets to the members in the Exchange today, following the Government order stabilising cotton prices, after the bell rung for the last time.
