I bought my wife's wedding ring from Maurice Abelsons & Sons the jewellers. On the first picture you can see the round white turret of Hymans on the corner of Camden Street.

Does anyone have any pictures of the facade of the old Fruit n Veg warehouse on the corner of Wavertree Road/Tunnel Road that disappeared one weekend without any say so from the Council?
PhillipG - You're a star. Did you photograph the whole of Liverpool by any chance? Those Islington pics are great, as I said earlier, so nonentity to many, but brill to us who lived around the corner and walked past them nearly every day. You'll notice that Hymans seems to be a different business on every pic, glad I didn't work for any of them.
The little sweet shop next to Transport House boxing club was known as 'Barney's', owned in the 70s by Joan and Peter someone or other. I can picture them now. He owned a brown Cortina MKIII with black vinyl roof and alloys and he used to let me and my cousin wash it and we'd help them stock the tiny little stockroom around the back. Back Commutation Row still exists.
I remember diving in the chest freezer for choc ices, Zooms and Twicers in that summer of 76 and Top Deck shandy was all the go too after a game of footy by the fountain.
Can see the character within these old buildings which sadly lack in the new 'improved' buildings of today. That usually get left emptied after a while.
Progress
Alright. There's no mystery that this was the Kemlyn Road entrance at Anfield, but I need a date. Any idea when tickets to this stand were 8 pounds? The car parked in the front should also give a clue. My friend John took this photo but nothing is written on the back, and it got separated from it's original envelope years ago.
Love the broken glass long the top of the wall, it really says welcome!
