    I think the church in the background on the 'cars' photo is Christ Church.

    Lark Lane businesses from the 1900 Liverpool directory. Some of those shown were still trading under the same name in the 50s and 60s.

    Thank's Paddy6, Interesting to read. I lived in 7 Hadassah Grove in 1962-63, and drove taxi's out of Logans Garage (opp Hadassah Grove) can't remember what number it was though! left there in Sept 63 to come to NZ.

    I can remember a car showroom next to what used to be the clinic Norm, maybe mid 60s. On Colin Wilkinson's Streets Of Liverpool site he's added a picture of a horsedrawn omnibus taken in the Lane in the 1890s. Would that be the same place shown behind the bus?

    I think that would be right Paddy, I believe 'Marantz restaurant occupies the building now. Tha name 'Logans' was a name from years back!! but it was printed on the doors, chap who ran the garage when I was there was a Ken Mount'

    Just had a look at Colin Wilkinson's pic, and Yes! the double wooden doors at the right of photo, (and rear of horse drawn bus) is the garage in question, very narrow! but went back quite a way! and still has rings and chains on the walls, which I believe was for horses stabled there in the past.

    RE the old bns if you look at the picture you will see they have alug on either side when the bin was empty it was lifted into a frame in the wall which had two slots were the lugs went in the bin was pushed forward it then dropped down and rested on its base with a tin lid in a permanent position ,in order to empty the bin the bin man had a lifting bdevice consisting of a metal tube,one inch approx diameter ,it had a piece of plate steel fitted to each end with a hook like shape which was pushed through a gap locating the lug on either side the bin was snatched, upward and forward in one movement then ending up sitting on its base sticking out of the frame next job was to lift it down ,mind you it could be heavy at times in my day i only saw them emtying the rubbish into baskets putting it on the shoulder and taking it out to the horse and bin cart (mind you the poor buggers didnt have much rubbish if it could be burnt they used it for heating)if i may digress we used to go around peoples bins with long wire hooks trying to find any rags so that we could get a penny of the rag man or a gold fish, the other thing we did was have a spoon flattend tied to a stick about 4 foot long and go around the shops ect that had a big grid covering under the windows for ventilation for the basemet we got many a penny or two lifting them up with our flattend spoons ) happy days before the war in the dingle ,dont think the north end kids had the nouse like us dingle kids HO HO JOE / SEE DAVEC PICTURE ON ITEM 138 OF BINS o

    Default Bins.

    These bins were unique to liverpool. They were designed by the city engineer'e office & were intended to offer ease of use & be removed from the wall without disterbing the household.
    They had a flaw though, it didn't take long for the local thieves to get their hands on the magic key, and they were in the the house in a jiffy.
