Just been on that site Ged.Bloody amazing.Did he ever put his camera down?
Brilliant
I've been looking at those pics for the last couple of days, and came on yo to see if anyone had posted a link yet. Those pics are fantastic, he says he's writing a book but I think they're so good they merit a permanent exhibition somewhere. They're up there with the best in 20th century documentary photography, and make a fantastic record of life in Liverpool in the 80s and 90s.
Ged, your website http://inacityliving.piczo.com/?g=27070738&cr=7 is amazing. Wish I could shake your hand for a job well done.
Just brilliant!
Thank you Rone, it's a sort of work in progress that will no doubt be added to, what good are pictures if not for sharing eh.
Appreciating not everyone has the luxury of choosing from the great range of books in the local history section of our few remaining books shops, and I think these snippets serve as some free advertising too - as there's hundreds of pics. These are from a selection of books titled along the lines of mersey memories.
Dale Street in 1960. The Art Deco Mitre is now the Ship and Mitre,Robinson and Neal decorators shop have moved out, the King and Queen statues behind the Mersey tunnel entrance have gone as have the flowers but apart from that it's still the same
Church Street January sales 1965. The Tatler cartoon picture house is in view too.
The Customs House in 1936. A few years later it would be gutted - though not unsaveable
The Abbey Cinema, Wavertree 1939.
Whitney's car dealership in Scotland Road. This was originally a United Methodist free church before becoming the Derby picturehouse for nearly 50 years in 1912. For the past 3 decades it has been a Coyne's funeral parlour.
St. George's Place 1960 before that lack lustre parade of shops and Concourse House. A ribble is negotiating the curved incline towards its terminus.
Thanks Zaps.
Another 80 odd pics added to my site over the last couple of days courtesy of and with the full co-operation of the LRO.
Mainly concentrating on Everton, Toxteth and Garston this time including this one below of St. Mary's Road.
This is the page though there's some on the slums/courts page too.
