The Bully..30th May 2007

Great selection again, Gerard.

I'm interested in the street sign on picture 3.
It's one of the original, oldest types with serifs on the letters, which stopped being used in the 19th century.
They're usually to be seen on the oldest buildings in Liverpool.
They're getting rarer as they get replaced, or the original buildings that they're on get demolished.
This is the only one I've noticed that looks like it's been saved and put on a newer building.

Great pics as always Gerard, despite so many students crying poverty I see there are lots of nice cars there!

Thanks Phil for letting me know that mate as I was unaware about the Old Street signs..I've cropped it a bit so maybe you can view it better and get a better Idea.
The Old Bullring photo has a different,Larger sign in the same place..
Photo from Port City's..Copyright says.."Check" ??

Thanks, Gerard.

It makes it clearer for people to spot the original type of lettering.
I've started snapping them when I see them, and the buildings that they're on.

[The Gardens]

Great pics Gerard. I visited the Bully last year to shoot a piece to camera for Gardens of Stone. The landings seemed to be much narrower than I remembered, you can see where the metal support for the washing lines has been removed.

Maybe us ex tenny residents should go to the Bully and hang some washing out in memory of our old Ma

Which was a better idea than the poor people of Wolfe street had to contend with.
