Taken in 1990.
Yes of course, or you can yourself, I'd post to Old Liverpool only I tried it once and it just uploaded to my flickr site that I didn't even know I had or asked for, so now I have the grand total of 1 pic on my flickr thingyo whatsit?
Thanks, Ged.
I'll do it, then.
Still looking for my album of Church St & Lord St postcards (where those 2 photos of the 1970 Christmas lights are).
It's in my little house................ somewhere.............
I really must start tidying up!
BTW. National Museums, Liverpool, have just asked me if they can use the photo of Woolworths which appears just before these latest posts.

Yep, that's a beaut that one with Woolies and C&A on it, in colour too
Looking across the Queensway tunnel entrance towards St. John's lane.23.4.87
New Islington, Scotland Road and Hunter Street in particular. The car became more important than the people. Densely populated inner city areas and communities were decimated. The lessons of the 1960s were not learnt as people were moved out of town wholesale to the suburbs and newtowns.
Wind on to 2007. City centre high rise living is back in vogue when you look at Leeds St, Marybone, Gt Crosshall St, Hatton Garden, Tithebarn St, Duke Street etc etc.
Here is Hunter Street being quadrupled in width to add 6 lanes (8 at its widest) to the already existing 4 of the flyovers. All in all, a mini motorway, certainly a concrete carbuncle.
Back Commutation Row. Surprisingly, this little back crack is still there and can be approached from London Road. These delapidated properties fronted onto Commutation Row itself. Premises such as Ableson's, The Hare & Hounds and the Court House pubs. The new(ish) apartment block built sympathetically to its more salubrious surroundings of William Brown Street and Lime Street now stands here. Pic by Joe Devine)

Very spooky Ged seeing as I took one at near exactly the same place!Here is Hunter Street being quadrupled in width to add 6 lanes (8 at its widest) to the already existing 4 of the flyovers. All in all, a mini motorway, certainly a concrete carbuncle.
Out of your windscreen or playing chicken?
