    I have dozens of pics of these - that wasn't wood but rendering just painted to relieve the expanse of brickwork - there's plans of them along with the tenements at the LRO. I have some pics of the 50s style standard units as they were called that formed part of Gerard Crescent on the page of that name on my website.

    I wondered who was flashing everytime I went to bed (I mean the camera BTW )

    every house I've ever lived in has been demolished(maybe I'm a home wrecker )

    I lived Webster Rd Wavertree
    Beaumont Grove Toxteth
    Seacome Tower (with my grandma)
    the Radcliffe Estate
    Torr Street Everton
    Petton Street Everton (3 houses)
    now I live close to Walton Rd maybe I should take a photo of my house before the knock it down

    I've just rushed 'In a city living IV' to the publishers - it only contains streets where Mandy has lived - all 312 of them.

    If man was on the moon - there'd only be 4 women on here jangling - hee hee.

    That's on my paperweight and I don't believe a word of it.

    Those flats were all over the place Mike. It's just the design of them that some have balconies and some don't - different sized windows, some had round port hole windows in the side of the block etc too.

    Mandy,when you lived in the Radcliffe Estate, did you have a sister or relative called Titch Roberts who hung around with a girl called Shields from Jenkinson Street - this would have been about 1976/77 when our classmate Gerard McCarthy lived there?
