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 lived in maisonettes, also the ground floor flat in the first photo on St Domingo Rd , they were demolished about 2 years ago
photos are from Liverpool Pictorial
Off St. Domingo Road, March 2003.
thanks for that photo Ged I lived in 3 houses in that Street
I first lived at no. 3 with my dad, then no. 2 my first flat until I had a serious fire & had to be rescued by neighbours & firemen(I still have the news paper cutting), after the fire I moved into no.9 until 2002 just before they were demolished

heres the story from The Daily Post
These flats fronted onto Leeds street and backed onto Worfield Street. Vauxhall Gardens stood behind them.

Mike. I think I have some more Maisonettes to post up where you may see the entrances.
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.
ged that would be brilliant cheers

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.
Here's a link regarding Myrtle Gardens, yes Brian's photos from Entwistle Heights were fab weren't they. He gave me permission to use them in my third book.
