The former Mere Lane cinema has certainly seen better days.
Wasn't somebody murdered there, a few years ago?

What's that George? You say they have set a high standard?Originally Posted by GeorgePorgie
I'm getting a little bit worried about you,Oudi.
This lamp standard is situated in the middle of the road of the two pic links I posted previously,it/they were laid there in 1890 give or take five years,its still there today as I type.
Now then on west derby road by brougham terrace there used to be underground public toilets opposite the old cinema,where these toilets were there was another lamp of the same ilk I think? and this one was taken down,why not leave that one up as well?
I'm summising the lamp is a piece of architecture and the heritage has stopped the council from removing it?
Its the last piece of me past thats still standing.
I love that lampost . Frank Green the painter used to sit by the lamp and do his wonderful paintings , the lamp was situated on a bit patch of land once upon a time . Look how beautiful and ornate it is , just beautiful .

Eh! FG you on about the fella that sells prints of his photographs in Oakfield Rd?Frank Green the painter
I have just bought a signed painting from Frank Green of St Georges church on Heyworth Street / St Domingo Road, if you go into his shop on Oakfield Road you can spend hours just looking around at all the prints in particular of Anfield and Everton.
Talking of Mere Lane, anyone remember the public toilets (Gents) on the corner of Mere Lane and Robson Street ?

I don't think i remember toilets Johnny , i seem to recall railing though , but that might have been the park or the lampost .

You might be right or wrong there,JB...but I can't recollect them?
Have you noticed the ones on West Derby Road in pic #8 are not in the photie,they were built after and around the lamp standard.
I've got a Frank Green on the hall wall, one of Anfield junior school.
I didn't know Norris had a brother.
