Thanks, Taffy. The Floating Roadway was certainly one of the marvels of Liverpool that has been lost.

Spotted on a row of terraced houses in Lord St, Garston. This row must have been built by the Tushingham family who owned extensive brickworks in the Garston area in the mid to late 19th C. They later moved to Huyton and Whiston.

Built 1885 when the Lark Lane of Toxteth Park was under the control of the County of Lancashire Police and not Liverpool Police

Thanks, Taffy! Great stuff!

This 1906 date stone is on a row of shops in Smithdown Place, Wavertree. Named after the builder Charles Berrington who built many of the houses on the Heathfield Estate off Church Rd, Wavertree

Pebble dash exteriors had well and truly arrived in Wavertree by 1926. Spotted on a small parade of shops between Lance Lane and Mosspits Lane.

The following is a yeoman's cottage from the seventeenth century at Springwood, Garston, on Mather Avenue. The datestone under the mullioned window in the gable, states within a chiselled heart, along with initials, "1684." Possibly one of my friends on Yo Liverpool! could get a better photograph of the datestone. Thanks in advance.

No problem Chris, I'll do it tomorrow. One minor point Springwood is in Allerton not Garston !! It's the L19 post code that confuses people.

Thanks, Taffy. As you know, the districts kind of shade into each other.
