    Cheers Mart. I must have more than a hundred I want to do but there's just never enough time or so it seems.

    Fabulous thread and great photos.

    I see the Pillar Box is the only constant in the above post.

    Does anyone have any pictures of Vauxhall Road/Gardens. Also Tatlock Towers and the Castle pub?

    In the days of afternoon closing for pubs a real scruff bag of a club was sited in or just off Leison street by the side of the Groey, where you could get a drink after 4pm and before the pubs opened for the evening, can't for the life of me remember the name of the dump, anyone remember it, always had a few who were working the welt in there. I know Ged,you have some obscure photos, would that club or street be on your photo file?

    The Edmund Gardner was Liverpool's Pilot Cutter No2 and worked the Mersey from 1953 until 1982. It is seen here at work and at restoration next to the new museum of Liverpool.

    The De Wadden was built in the Netherlands in 1917. It was the last sailing ship to ply its trade on the Mersey (though it was built with back up engines too) when it transported Timber, Coal, Stone and Grain between Liverpool and Ireland between 1922 and 1961.

    It was called the Richmond Arms and here it is photographed in 1912 when the manager was William Newall. It closed as a pub in 1928 becoming a dining rooms in the 1930s before becoming a lodging house in the 1940s. It was demolished in 1995. Pic and info thanks to Freddy O'Connor.

    That area of Liverpool was once called Richmond. Richmond wool fair stood on what is now the Friary (St Mary of the Angels) church and of course Richmond Row led from Fox st/Everton Brow junction all the way down to Scotland Place on Scotland Road up until the 1960s. St Annes Church on St. Anne Street which gave the street its name was also known as St Annes Richmond.



    The colour shot was taken by me in 1990. The petrus shop is the blue one on the left, the name can still be seen on it, this was the 98 shop that moved from near the Morning Star pub on the previously mentioned Scotland Place.

    Ged, I know you've got one somewhere! ....corner of Richmond Street and Tarleton Street.
    They're 'doing up' the old Sayers..........revealing an old shop name Harfords? (i think)

    That's the one George thanks! The Sayers has now moved to the next block and they're doing this one up,,,the Sayers name was taken down revealing a shop name 'Harfords'.
