Unseen Liverpool

[Ged]

Hiya Jimmy, the lino shop (Aspinall's) finally went last month but this was taken from the other end of Moss Street. The Majestic on the corner of Boundary Place/Lane was cleared for the then new Royal Hospital.

Black and White pics of Prescot Street, including the majestic are on the post war page of my site below. Taken in the 60s to record how it looked just before the demolition took place.

Does anyone know what the building with the blue window frames was?

This was one of the many chapels that used to be found all over Liverpool.
Located on Goodison Road, Walton, the building survives as a gym,
Interior photo's of these are rare, but I have two of this one. note the compact organ and the basic seating!

Maybe, part of the dental hospital?

Certain parts of the city appear to have suffered from a famine of photographers. Mundane streets were taken for granted, until they were gone! I tried to preserve on film everyday and unusual aspects of the way we were, keeping one jump ahead of the bulldozers!
My collection has remained unseen, until now, so enjoy.

The pics;
Sunset, from Sheil Park flats, 25 December 1971.
Consort Street, Edge Hill, August 1971 (typical 2 up, 2 down terraces c/w shop)
Everton Heights, August 1970.
Off St. Domingo Road, Everton, August 1970
