Excellent photos those

I have commented on a couple of her photos, one of a very young Farm and the photo of the People's Festival

Here's a question about the Dingle Knot Hole: It looks very much like the outcrop of rock that is currently opposite the old Garden Festival site. There is a roundabout there and the Riverside Drive runs past too. Just to the left would be the Britania Pub. Its almost like its taken from the Garden Festival itself by the old dome.

Interesting photos. Sorry if this link has already been mentioned. It's the Council's online photo archive. Type "jpg" in the Any text search box and it will bring up all the photos.

Many of these photos often attached to thin card were reference prints not actual prints and were used by the City Engineers Photographic unit (later Reprographic Section) to show to customers.

Many of them were quick contact prints from the glass plates and some were so old that we mounted them on card and then filed them. The scruffy handwriting seen on some of them is mine.

When the section was closed the 200,000 strong photo archive with photos from 1890s to nearly the 1990s and with negatives ranging from glass plates to more modern negatives and of all sizes was passed on to the Library.

Often these are reproduced and sold on. The original glass plates although deteriorating produced prints of a far higher quality.

Yes, it's the same place I think.

A cracking set of pics Kev.

Six feet wide, 14 feet deep with 2 rooms now incorporated into the Cock and Bottle Pub, Wavertree.

Even though it's now part of the pub, are they still separate rooms.

6 feet wide!

Perfect for most of ya and you have a pub next door.

The day the Galaxy came to the old Liverpool Airport:



I can remember walking through this beast when I was little.

Hi guys!
New to this forum, so thought I'd start by posting a link on here to an excellent set of photos, taken by a young lady who lives in Seattle. I believe she lived in Lpool only for a year during the 80's, but captured our city wonderfully & just how I remember it, growing up as a child. Have a gander..!

Yes, they're great photos.
She's still very interested in Liverpool.
