    fantastic pic.
    why this church and it's grounds aren't high prority I have no idea
    I was thinking today....if they turned the church into apartments of flats, they would surely get rid of the graveyard because I am sure 'suits' and developers would think it was an eyesore....

    A posh restraunt perhaps? I would win awards I'm sure. Just a restoration would do though, they must leave the graves alone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    There's a pyramid tomb very like the one in Liverpool shown in Tom Slemen's article here in Baltimore in Westminster Cemetery, which also happens to be where Edgar Allan Poe is buried. See the following URL for more information: http://marylandghosts.com/post/41742/ Any visitors to Baltimore I will be glad to give them a tour.

    1868.
    The monument is to William Mackenzie, the railway contractor responsible for the Edge Hill - Lime Street tunnel.

    Default Rodney Street Area

    Rodney Street is noted for the number of doctors and its Georgian architecture. It forms the Rodney Street conservation area. There are over 60 Grade II listed buildings on the street and one II* church.

    On a windswept Sunday morning (today 28th Jan 2007) I had a wander around taking photographs of the ornate doors. I managed to photograph every front door along the Rodney Street area plus a couple of beautiful Liver Birds.

    Click here to visit the gallery - hope you like 'em

    When I worked on Hardman St, 1954-57 One of the shops in your pics I think the one on the right was prosecuted for running a brothel, it was a big scandal at the time.

    Kev, all those doors grouped together in your collection would make a fantastic postcard. Very colourful when they all on the same image.

    That'll be Gladstone Max. According to Tom Slemen, there's also that McKenzie ghost.

    The fella born on Rodney street who became prime minister was prime minister 5 times! And some debate he was our best PM ever.

    Absolutely fab photos Kev...that street is one of my faves.
    I wonder what one of those houses would cost?
