OLD LIVERPOOL POST CARDS & PICTURES.

[Sloyne]

I always thought that "Mann Island" and the "Pier Head" were one and the same but I am open to being corrected and to learn the difference.

Hi Chris, did you know that the original name of that area called Mann Island was "Nova Scotia"? This was due to the the area being used to store timber from Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, Canada. The timber was for the building of ships at the numerous shipbuilders on the Liverpool side of the Mersey. Later the land was needed for the extension of the docks and was to valuable for ship building.

Also and later, ships were built in Canada and sailed in ballast to Liverpool and sold to the various shipping companies in Liverpool. The famouse clippership Marco Polo of the Blackball Line was one such ship.

Mann Island is the road running down the side of the Port of Liverpool Building (former Mersey Docks and Harbour Board Building). It's the continuation of James Street.
George's Pier Head runs in front of the Three Graces, named after George's Dock on which they were built.
Nova Scotia and Irwell Street were parallel roads that ran into Mann Island from the Canning Dock area.
Only Irwell Street remains.
Mann Island was named after somebody called Mann, and Island because at one time it could only be reached by going over bridges.

Regarding the title of this thread.
"Postcards" should be kept in the name, simply so we know where to post postcards.

Great information. Thank you, Philip. I also agree with you that the word "Postcards" should be kept in the name, just as you say, so we know where to post postcards.

This is thought to be the earliest, but if you know different, please post.
It's also considered to be a quite accurate view of the Castle.

If Liverpool in picture postcards is your thing then look no further than Springy's (Ken) fantastic collection on here. All 16 pages just have to be viewed. http://www.thescousehouse.net/index....opic=9880&st=0

Hi Marie- These are wonderful images that I've not seen before. Any chance of posting them larger?

I agree absolutely about Springy's postcard collection, never seen anything like it. Just been on there for about two hours!
