Cinema

Great photos, George.
The Lime Street one (showing London Road) must have been taken from the Wellington Column.
The Stadium was called just that.
Built about 1911 as a skating rink, it became a boxing stadium a few years later.
It was replaced by the Paramount/Odeon cinema on that site (1934) and by Britain's only purpose-built boxing stadium in St Paul's Square (1932).

Problem solved! Thanks Quentin,never heard about that stadium,though,unless the name was confused with the other one!?

The wall on the left of the picture was were an emergency water supply tank was during the second world war. Liverpool had quite a few of these dotted around the city. I haven`t noticed any old pics of these E W S tanks anywhere.

Try Spikes site for a few here:

George, that 2nd picture - County rd - I can't recognise at all, yet I know County rd well. I can't make out where the road and pavement curves around like where the people are walking.
Could do with a then & now comparison.

edit.

false alarm I think I can make it out now. I've recognised that turret over by Arnot st !

I couldn't make out which direction we were looking from.

Then you don't know county road well enough then :-) County DIY you know the road at the traffic lights,see the stone bus stop? well thats where Tesco's(AkA Sommerfields) is,the clock hanging on the wall is the funeral parlour.

Lol,well the sign says Manchester so therefore the pic musta been taken towards walton road way.

When looking at old pics observe specific landmarks that you might recognise that are still evident today

Ok lets get this one sorted out here,below is a pic ofEverton Brow and I have seen many a pic depicting the park and Brow side saying its Everton Brow...IT IS NOT EVERTON BROW...its Brow Side.

Everton Brow ran from Shaw street(opposite side of BrowSide)right down to Richmond Row....
