    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.

    Mike, it seems to be the in thing at the moment these models. I see the Liverpool model in the library has been extended then there's the model of what the metopolitan cathedral was going to look like in the Walker and my friend Mike Murphy who supplied many of the photos on my site made one years ago of Tate and Lyles which he still has, now yours too.

    The Lee Jones screening is based at their headquarters in Limekiln Lane, just off Silvester Street which in turn is just off Scotland Road, near to St. Anthony's church. It starts at 2pm - it's free but you need to book the tickets by ringing Lesley or Joan on 207 1984.

    The film lasts one and a half hours, there's usually people there who bring their own pics to show around and Lee Jones will have their own on show. Ron Fromby of the Scottie press www.scottiepress.org will be present (they're based around the corner and set this up really) and there's always a lively debate at the Q&A session afterwards.

    Hope you and your dad and whoever else can make it.

    Not to worry Mike, it'll be on again somewhere throughout the year, definitely featuring at the St. George's Hall big history festival in September - see my events page on the website. Why don't you contact Marcia Hughes about having your exhibition there too.

    yeah ive got a thing for building models, be it cars, buildings, trains

    think it started with watching Thunderbirds when i was a kid

    reading books like yours and photos that my dad had collected made me want to do it,

    i wanted a railway as got an interest in the old steam days (know a few old drivers and firemen who tell great tales )

    and wanted a small Liverpool location, and searched all different local locations, and crown street fitted all the requirements especially with myrtle gardens on it, worked out at 20ftx3ft

    the same fella whos doing it with me, is helping his mate, do a layout of Lime street!!! as it was in the 40s, its aprox 40ft x 8 ft complete with the hotel on the end and the cutting leading up to it with the tennements above there, its been to our show in part and will be there in the next year or 2

    Slightly older than the 50's - however I'm not sure when they were actually built.

    Here is a 'what they may look like' picture of Paddington Gardens in Edge Hill.

    Jona. I see Lancelot Herman Keay has signed that and they look like the other Mason Street tenements that were built in the 1930s - along the same lines of the Bullring nearby. Proposal drawings were made on all of these inter-war tenement developments or it could be proposed revamps that were drawn up in the 1950s including Gerard Gardens but were shelved.

    Grinfield Street, July 2006. (I don't see many of these flats with the round windows, though Laxey/Mill St. used to have some). The Bay Horse pub is in the background.

    Great George Street, July 2006. This area has been getting cleared for the past few years.

    Mill Street, Dec. 2006. This set of flats was demolished late Feb/early March 2007.
