Picture of the Day July 2007

I wonder if the Conservation Centre is thinking of opening another part of their building as the 'Liverbird'?
They've already opened a cafe to house the Eros statue which was stolen from Sefton Park.

Mersey Road Tunnel ventilation tower near Seacombe Ferry landing stage

The building to the extreme right of that Tunnel Ventilation Shaft picture had some writing painted on the roof. I think it read 'chips 25p'. It's been a mystery to me, as it can only be seen from the river side.

We're coming to the end of the month with some dates still missing pictures.

[marky]

The dates will get filled, I'm sure...I'll sort a couple of reserves out taken this year just incase.

Re: Liverbird Fountain
The Conservation Museum are looking for photographs of this fountain so that they can restore it, so maybe they have some bits.
A small picture of the Liverbirds is on page 3 of this pdf page:

Thanks, Marky.

Here's what I meant about that house with writing on the roof...chips 25p. I can't remember that far back, when chips were only 25p.

The Falkland Arms pub. This was taken in January, but it has since been demolished.

July 4 and 5 are still missing.

Just thought I'd post a pic for the 27th.
This is the little inlet known as 'the cockle-hole'

Thanks, Marky. Where is that exactly?

[marky]

The cockle-hole is next to the Southern end of the Coburg Dock Marina. Coburg Wharf runs next to this small rectangular inlet. It's shown here, but only on the satellite picture (it's not shown on the ordinary map).

Hey Marky, you must be young. I remember fish and chips for less than 10p new money, 1/9p old money.
