Unseen Liverpool

[merseywail]

Love the pics, especially the one with the Mini Clubman in!

Great stuff, Merseywail! Are we going to have a railway pics war?????
It's really great to see what comes out of the woodwork.

How about Breckside Park Corpi yard in 1972;
A small steam crane (now preserved)
The remains of ex-Mersey Railway "Cecil Raikes"

New Brighton Pier in May 1976
St. Andrews Kirk, Rodney Street in August 1975
Moorfields, towards Exchange Station, April 1977

If its going to be a railway pics war, then i will have to capitulate... LOL

Here Here!

The Hare and Hounds image is very interesting indeed...it would be interesting to see if the derelict stables behind it are still there.

Mount Vernon Pub image is a great capture!

The Mount Vernon Hotel in August, 1975

The one by the Royal? Wow how strange to see buildings lining the streets on the left.

My worked behind the bar there 'on and off' over the last 10 years.

Some shots of the merseyside electrics. a neglected subject. The first is a Lancashire & yorkshire train at sandhills, or is it seaforth, anyone know? Southport is the next location & shows a L&Y ''overhead'' train on its way to Crossens in 1938. these trains were a lightweight stock, & were used to run trains from Southport to Dingle, via the overhead rly. Southport st lukes is next, & shows an LMS built ''br class 502'' train also going to Crossens in 1953. A 502 train again this time at Birkdale in 1953. And last is a mersey railway train at park station in 1935.

Well, thanks for all your kind comments, which makes the mammoth task of digitising and restoring, worthwhile. I have a vast archive, so Ged will not be disappointed. I started Unseen Liverpool as a means to share the many unusual pics that I had taken. Some are just like the documentary "Morning in the Streets", others where it was not worth a pic, - until it was gone! I'm posting them all mixed up, so you don't know what is coming next!
ENJOY!!!!!!

PS Thanks, Kev, for all your hard work in creating Yo!

They're all great photos.

Sometimes I used to take the lift to the top of a high-rise, just to enjoy the view.
But I never took photos!
