    Its wierd to think that once that was a busy road with people living their lives. but its nice to see it still marked even if the houses are gone.

    Default Ruby St Dingle Toxteth

    Ruby St, Dingle has been truncated to a short length of road alongside the pub. There is a new Ruby Street around the corner. The original Ruby St along with parallel Emerald st and Nestor St have been demolished and the land converted into parkland and a children's play area.

    Yeah, it doesn't seem all that long ago that they were busy streets with families living in them.

    Default Nestor St Dingle Toxteth L8

    This was a short street coming off Cockburn St, Dingle. All that's left are the curb edging stones which now lead to a pathway into Dingle Park. In the background is Homer Street, also truncated but still existing with a street name, albeit unadopted.

    Most of the area off Park Way has been rebuilt since the 70s.

    I thought so but I recall driving through that area in 2006 and seeing some v. old houses on what would/should/could have been Harrowby Street but I wasn't 100% sure where I was at the time. They were in a small row by themselves, maybe six or eight old terraced houses. I'm real interested to know if any of the original 2/3 story terraced town houses still exist in that area.

    I don't know if it's still intact, but I walked down Granby Street last week and it's still there.
    I was checking out Granby Street/Rosebery Street corner, because the Prince's cinema used to be there, and Rosebery Street doesn't exist now, but there is a footpath going through what used to be it.

    Default Derby St Garston

    Derby St off Canterbury St is now just a short piece of road with the once cherished terraced houses long since demolished and not replaced. It is sited in the "under the bridge" area once called perhaps more appropriately "beyond the bridge"

    The newer property on Canterbury St abuts onto Derby St and was the site of the Welsh Presbyterian Church's Bethel Chapel Mission Hall

    I think just a small stub remains. Attached is a photo of Park Way showing the entrance to Harrowby St on RHS about half way along. Park Way itself has been truncated from its original route from Upper Parliaiment st to Princes Rd
