Hi all,
A big thankyou to everyone for your responses - it's sounding more and more likely i'm gonna move there, everyone seems so positive about the place!
Does anyone know if the number 82 is 24 hours?
Cheers,
Chris.

Lived here all my life, apart from a short stint in Oz, place has lots of character and characters! You're not too far from Brunswick station, down the steps to Riverside drive, and the 48a goes all the way to Southport. The 1 and the 4 go from Brunswick Station, on Mill St, you can get 130, and 103, but check the times! You have some nice walks on the waterfront, or in the parks. If your youngish ! you can walk into town in 20-30 minutes, and some decent little pubs around too!! R. Soles live everywhere these days, but doesnt seem as bad down here.
I have two cousins who stayed off the Park Road area. I know at least one of them is very happy there. They have totally re-modeled a few times but they have a lovely home and great neighbours.
Earth is the insane asylum for the universe.
The area being referd to is The Shore Fields between Cockburn st and Grafton st ,it's the area were the tv show BREAD was made ,i think they used to be called the WELSH houses being built by welsh contractors and or material, ,joe
I thought they were called the Welsh houses as they all had Welsh names same as other groups, the Holy Land, Charles Dickens group, the Garden (Rose St, Daffodil St. e.g.
Earth is the insane asylum for the universe.
One and the same really, the Welsh contractors who built them tended to give them Welsh names too and in fact there are around 20 streets off County Road, L4 that spell out the name of the Welsh building contracting firm.
Shorefields street names have no pattern and certainly not Welsh. The Welsh Streets are in a large block from Windsor St/Admiral St - South St - Upper Warwick St - Princes Rd. Ringo lived there, in two of them.
The Holy Land is a group of streets between Mill Street and Park Rd. There was no pubs along Mill St or Park Rd in the Holy Land, except one, The Pineapple on Park Rd/Moses St, which was there well before the streets, being an Inn when Park RD was rural. That section of Mill St was always odd and always lacked something - the pubs.
Dickens is a block from Windsor St - Park Rd - Upper Warwick and North Hill St. One part of the block was demolished so the border is now Northumberland St not North Hill St. John Lennon's uncle lived in now demolished Copperfield St and he was a regular visitor, staying there.
Most of Liverpool was built by the Welsh and virtually all Bootle. Well Wales is next door.
Ged is Referring "Owen Hargreaves" off County Rd to Goodison Rd.

The new Amsterdam at Liverpool?
Save Liverpool Docks and Waterways - Click
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?

You are right. I lived with my Gran in the Welsh Streets, Ringo lived a few streets away, as he was older than me we did not actually chat till we were teens. The Welsh streets are off Admiral Street. I lived (with my parents) in Micawber Street and our back yard door opened onto the back yard door of the house where Lennon's dad had lived in Copperfield Street with the uncle of John. It was off High Park street.
I used to pass the Holy Land going to St. Finbar's. I remember Jacob St. Isaac Street and Moses St.
Earth is the insane asylum for the universe.
Arthur Askey was born in Moses Street.
Billy Fury lived virtually opposite across Park Rd - I forget the name of the street. Gerry Marsden was off South Hill Rd in Menzies St. At the bottom of Park Rd at the Dingle the script writer for Morcambe and Wise lived, Eddie Braben (?).
George Melly lived not far away at Lark Lane - Ivanhoe Rd.
