    Default 1950s flats and maisonettes.

    Boundary Street, now new housing. Just the other side of the bridge is now the big tai pan chinese restaurant. This area was desolate for quite some time.

    I remember you saying your back wall was Everton library. You should have made the council pay your lecky bill.

    These flats fronted onto Leeds street and backed onto Worfield Street. Vauxhall Gardens stood behind them.

    I'm not sure I know the subtle differences between 50s/60s designs...some had round windows, landings, raillings and some didn't. Here's a couple that have since been demolished.

    Essex Street Jan. 2005


    Lamport Street (rear) Sept. 2004...you can see where the raillings have been bricked-up.

    That's great that Mike, I'LL deffo get along to that exhibition. I've just posted a film screening and model exhibition at Lee Jones on the Festival and Events thread this thursday if you want to go along. Myrtle Gardens gets a good slot during it, great model that. Those with the orange arrow are the balconies aren't they and yes, that's the central stairway with your green arrow.
