    Yes the 3 in Sheil road were fine, really clean well looked after blocks.
    But most of the high rises have gone. St Georges church is now the
    highest point, that is the church behind were St Georges mount used to be
    I did take loads of pic,s but as this was many years ago they have probably
    well gone..

    Hi
    will have a good search round, I took 100,s of pic,s as "Photography" was
    my new hobby and I took shots of everything, like one does.
    There were some great views, I remember being on the roof of St Georges
    lovely clear day see for miles looking up the coast at Blackpool Tower or over the Mersey towards the Welsh hills, spent many a happy hour stuck in the lift
    or no lifts working so had to lug heavy test gear up 23 floors, AH those were
    the days my friend, cue music

    Thanks Steve, you must have seen some cracking views. I'm mates with one of the guys on St George's Church building committee, so I can get on top of their tower whenever I like.

    Here's a pic of Corinth Tower viewed from Vauxhall

    I think it's a shame them knocking down all the tower blocks. It'll be regreted in the future imo.

    Thanks Dave! I was round by Great Mersey Street earlier today which is why I was wondering where you were when you went a few years ago.

    Gerard: Isn't it fun when that happens! People like me get two answers from one question! Its round where you and Dave said anyway!

    Many Thanks to the both of you anyway for clearing my curiosity , many cats across Wallasey are now sighing with relief!

    The other towers around there are and have been refurbished. They added an Extra floor to them too.

    My Dads mate lives In one of the towers by the Cricket Club In Sefton Park and the flats In them are big.
