The new Amsterdam at Liverpool?
Save Liverpool Docks and Waterways - Click
Deprived of its unique dockland waters Liverpool
becomes a Venice without canals, just another city, no
longer of special interest to anyone, least of all the
tourist. Would we visit a modernised Venice of filled in
canals to view its modern museum describing
how it once was?

The Flag company was in that street. When I was about 16 I went there for a job interview.
My great grandfather was the residential stable master at Walker's Ales stables on Kitchen Street circa 1910-1930 and a great uncle followed him from about 1930 -35.
The stables building is sadly demolished now and the plot stands vacant and tatty. A McDonald's has been built on the Dock Rd frontage and truncates the Kitchen St and Bridgwater St junctions.
There's a short piece on the stables (and some nice drawings of the facade and interior) in a Walker's Ales 1896 golden jubilee souvenir book. I've been trying to attach an extract but unfortunately the upload function keeps failing.
Anyway, I'm keen to know if there's any more information available (I couldn't find anything at the public records office where Walker's archives are deposited). If anyone here can point me to further information I'd be very grateful.
Regards,
WB.
I took this a few days ago (for the large warehouse between Blundell and Kitchen Streets), but from your description, this sounds the area you're interested in. Maybe It'll jog someones memory.

Yes, that's right Marky. The Walkers stables would have been in the overgrown land behind the pallisade fence on the right hand side of your photo. Thanks for taking and posting this.
Just had another go at uploading the scanned book extract but sadly no joy. (gif reduced in size to 208kb, 728 x 530pixels - any ideas what I might be doing wrong?)
Cheers,

Hi,
Apologies if this is Off topic.
Bennison's Map of Liverpool was published in 1835. It covers most of modern day Liverpool, from Seaforth and Aintree in the north, Fazakerley and West Derby to the east, down to Allerton, Childwall and Woolton in the south.
The northern section of the map is on my website, and I'm hoping to get the remainder online before Christmas. Here is a sample, covering Bootle.
See you,
Tony

Fantastic maps! if you anything on Edge Hill and Childwall, I'd be more than grateful for a nose!!
Hi,
This is a section of Bennison's 1835 Map of Liverpool, covering the Chidwall area. The sheets covering Much Woolton, Allerton, Mossley Hill and Aigburth, as well as those covering north Liverpool, are now online.
