I'd say 'ourblock' and 'ged' are right with their guesses...
Falkner Street, looking towards Chatham Street/Sandon Street (with Grove Street in the distance)
Great Mersey Street. This is the part that has the Rotunda College/Nursery, near to Stanley Road end. Just look at the window sill line on the building on the left. It is higher than the other buildings. They're the same in Geds picture also. I've got a picture of this row from a couple of months ago, and it looks the same to me.
Yes definitely Great Mersey,I Thought at first one could be Boundary but after
comparing the windows and curtains they are both the same.
The end house was St Alphonsus mens club and next door was the priest`s house

There was also a dentist there called Purcell. Danesis does have a pic on his photbucket labelled as Boundary street but with no steps up to it, is that Boundary street then?
Ged as you can see I`ve amended my last post, the waste ground threw me.
When I lived in Kirkdale, Great Mersey had mansions both sides of the street
the majority used as flatlets.
Boundry St mostly doctors and a few dentists,but was only one sided.

Yep agree with that. Boundary street is the row with no steps up to the houses. The priests house you mention which is where we met at the Rotunda last year was Fr. Lawns wasn't it. What a quirky house that is with all those different levels/mezzanine floors/staircases.

Yes, there would have been half a dozen or so but nothing like Gt Mersey St. Take a look at Boundary street's doctors and dentists row on this page
