    He and Rob Zatz run the Wavertree Historic Society who screened Gardens of Stone about 20th Century inner city living while also dispalying my model. They operate out of the Olive Mount community centre in the new flats built near to where Olive Mount heights once stood in the Wavertree Garden Suburb area. Google Wavertree historic society and there's a link to those pics you tried to post up.

    Hello Marie,
    Found an old photo album in a second hand shop here in Swansea about 35 years ago. Always wanted to share the pics with someone on Merseyside . Th attached may be of interest they are of a Railway Exhibition in Wavertree in 1930. All the pics in the album are of local ship, ferry and railways around Merseyside. just sending these couple to see if they generate any interestClick image for larger version.
