Do the LRO photos of the flats being built contain any evidence of the original tenement housing...?

No, there's just a small number of photos of the bricklayers actually building the flats as mentioned earlier - this after the terraced streets have succumbed.
Ged,
Cheers for that. I presume the streets themselves wouldn't have been much different from the others 'round that area. I have one of Robsart Street (where my Grandmother was born) which serves the purpose of the tenement housing very well I think...
Scan it and upload it here and then we could yay or nay it as to the same housing conditions...probably is though?I have one of Robsart Street
Robsart St No.9 Court in 1959 - you know where
I was the first with the file out although it'd been available for over a year so it's likely the only place you'll see this photo.
Here is a pic of Robsart Street, courtesy of Liverpool Record Office.
Cheers,

Would this have been taken from the top of St Georges Heights?
Forget that,seems it would not have been as its not far enough along Heywoth street for the shot.
Hmmm! what high vantage point would have given this shot? prolly a Telephoto lens used?

If thats the case then there should be other pics of this ilk because the clearence didn't just span to this area of Everton.that photo was taken from an aeroplane.

Ah, I didn't know said photo actually had a court number given! My Nan was at Number 13. I wonder what 'name' Number 9 had? Number 13 was the salubrious "Cambridge Terrace"!

That's a beautiful aerial photo. When's that from? I see the clearances are well, well underway!
I can see the watertower, but can't see any other landmarks with which I'm familiar (although I wouldn't say I know Everton at all well, really!) - anyone care to point to Netherfield or Domingo's or a church or two...?

Not many pics were taken aound this area befoe the slum clearence? asI used to live 3 streets away ie off York Terrace/Albion Street.

St Domingo is not in this shot,the circle starts at Brougham Terrace ie west derby road....the 3 high rise flats in the mid distance are Sheil Road Heights....following the dark line I have put this is Everton Road.
Netherfield Road is the road immidiatly in front of the tower blocks at the bottom
