A pity St. martins cottages couldn't have been saved,in some way,as it was the oldest municipal housing in the country!

the free school movement in liverpool, the rise of the vnc
remember the free school ,bet u dont , i used to sag school to go , did you go.. can you remember the two free school sites, the people who attended,the student hippies, of the 70,s who , proposed the idea,s that ,became the scotty press ,the vnc ,the football teams,(scotland road juniour league),the people who really radicalised the area known as scotty road, in the late 60,s 70,s people like john ord who used to teach in the free school.
I bet you've seen all those great old photos that Lee Jones have Jacky. The old barefoot street urchins, the kids carrying jugs of ale back from the pubs for their dads, captured on camera in the 1800s and partially helped create the Temperance movement towards coca rooms. The black lad seen at the Steble fountain on that often published photograph was from Eldon Place and went on to tour the world with an orchestra/troup.
