Philip, i'm only 31. Great old pic btw.

Paul, I used to go into Hobbies and ask for shoulders instead of soldiers but they'd tell me that Ted Heath didn't work there.

Gerard. Good pic off you too. I wonder what it'll look like in 14 years like Phil's, probably not a lot different I suspect.

THIRTY ONE !!!..THIRRRRRRRRTYYYYYYY ONE...
Take no notice Phil Ged's 45..

This pic was posted by Springy on the Scouse House forum. It shows the close proximity of our tennies to the fantastic William Brown Street - our playground. Taken in 1971. The Tysons crane, building, behind Thurlow House was something I used to look at from our back veranda, being 9 years old and all that, it was being replicated with my lego and matchbox cars set.

Postcard was posted in late 40s, but would need someone who knows about trams and thinks to say if it was a contemporary card for that era, as it might have been pre-war stock still be used?

Hi Liverpolitan

Great postcard view of Church Street. Many thanks for posting it.

PhilipG might have a better idea but I should say the view is from the 1930s or earlier judging by the look of the trams and motor cars.

I can recognise Green Goddesses from the side, but not sure about the front end views of the nearest two.
This could be early 1930s, as there's no sign of the canopy for the Tatler which opened in 1934, and if that's India Buildings in the background, that was built 1923-30.
Presumably it's out of copyright and OK for me to put on Old Liverpool?

Hi Chris, Hi Paul - yes please put it on the old Liverpool group if you think it'll add to the collection there. I did join and put a few pictures up there but haven't got the habit yet. Sooner or later I am going to stop being lazy and scan more of my postcards.
