    Right, but despite that there's no chance of walking up and paying on the day unlike then.

    This is a problem, as I'm planning a trip for later in the year, and wanted to take my husband to a match, but from looking at the LFC website it seems pretty much impossible for outsiders to get tickets(unless I want to pay a ticket tout). Might have to just settle for the Anfield tour.

    But not to get completely off-topic - Philip, in that picture of Seacombe, what's the building to the right? I've got a similar photo in my collection of that same structure.

    Interesting pic Phil. Thanks. I took one from almost the same spot years later. I think it's the exit from the East Float. Amazing how the Liverpool waterfront has changed.

    Nancy, I'm not sure what the building is. It may have been part of a hydraulic tower originally, but it's just a guess.

    The 1909 OS map describes it as an "Accumulator Tower".
    Perhaps someone else knows what such a building was.

    Here's another photo from the same day, with slightly less activity than your photo, Dave.

    Cracking pics Phil. I think the car park to the right of the tunnel is for Magistrates only. My oul fella was a JP for about 15 years and used to park there.
    Thanks

    Why not start a new thread with the place where so many Scousers started?

    For the history, here's a link to toxteth.net

    Does anyone know where I can find pictures of the old St Patricks boys school on Hyslop street, behind Park Place?

    Thanks in Advance.

    St Patrick's School is on Park Place, with the rear of it in Hyslop Street.
    Is that the one you mean?
    It's still there.

    Adelaide Place as the back of Gt Homer street facing Dryden Street. The next one is of Dryden street which is now flattened as part of project Jennifer. Tysons were residents here for many years. Moss street at the corner of Islington with Aspinalls floor coverings who seem to have been there forever and a waterfront devoid of all the skyscrapers going up now.

    In 1979 the former wash-house was converted into a recreation hall.
    I don't know when the baths finally closed or when the complex was finally demolished.
    Some remnants of the walls still survive.
    wasted a good few hours of my life sitting on that wall, and spent most of my summers in the baths, great days. Weren't the baths known as the "bloodbaths" in the 50's?
