    It would have to the August bank holiday of 1919 when the 'bloody scuffers' went on strike.

    If it only had to be one place, it would be Granby Street any time before 1966, but I'd have to be allowed to take a photo of the Princes Cinema which was next to the school because I know someone who used to go there, and every time he sees me he asks if I have a photo of the 'Granby' which was its original name.

    Can I have two goes?

    Ringing the bells at St Luke's Church, Bold Place and recording them before they crashed to the ground in WW2. The last two ringers that rang on the bells have now passed away so another link is now lost with the church.

    If I could go back I'd love to visit back in the days of Bill Shankley and to stand in the Kop for any of the great games.

    I'd be outside 29 Wolverton Street, Anfield on the 20th January 1931.

    It's a great photo, but the building we're looking at dates from 1884 when it was rebuilt.
    It opened 7 November 1790 as a Wesleyan Chapel, so, if there was anything of the original building left it couldn't have been any older than 180 years (assuming it was demolished in 1970).
    The room on stilts was a projection room built in 1908 when it became Liverpool's first permanent cinema.

    Philip, it was demolished in the mid-1970s. I must have had brainache when counting. Re-built? How much? It must have only been cosmetics, in those day they never raised a site and started afresh as they do now. Nevertheless to demolish the whole row to build a car park shows the total contempt the city had for its own heritage. 100,000s of people went to the Mardi and it was old with history. Would that have been demolished in the USA? Not in million years.

    Deprived of its unique dockland waters Liverpool
    becomes a Venice without canals, just another city, no
    longer of special interest to anyone, least of all the
    tourist. Would we visit a modernised Venice of filled in
    canals to view its modern museum describing
    how it once was?

    I'd like to go back to 18th August 1974 and say goodbye to my dad the day before he died.
