    I worked on them, 1964 to 1967.
    'Monument' is the War Memorial in Lord Street - All the buses went to the Monument.

    What was it doing at Mann Island?

    Liverpool FC always used them for their 'homecomings' because of the colour (and they were the only local open-tops at the time).

    I'm not sure why that bus was at Mann Island, but it's the only time I've seen it there. The picture was taken a couple of Sundays ago.

    Default Lost Wavertree Estates

    Shame It was donated to the University though but I'm walking on those grounds again to get more sunny shots.
    Nice photo Max. I suspect had the Rathbones not given the estate to the University but sold it to property developers ( as did most estate owners), then Greenbank house would have been demolished and the land covered with terraced housing. Much the same happened to the nearby Penketh Hall, Elm Hall and Heathfield estates in Wavertree and of course many others around Liverpool.

    Yes, surely the University looking after it is a good thing?! Just look at the Royal Liverpool Infirmary - I wouldn't be surprised if that had been demolished by now if it weren't for the university.

    I got there an hour before the game, and it was empty, cos the pubs had stopped letting people in. Made my way down to the Pump House, and it was less busy than a normal match day

    An astute posting, Taffy. I am sure you are correct, and it's great to know that Greenbank House was rescued for posterity due to the Rathbones' decision. It was great to meet you when I was in Liverpool. I am finding the Garston Mill booklet that I obtained through you most informative.

    Beatle's pictures are too popular to be pictures of the year.

    One day I'll get a blue English Heritage Plaque on my house.

    It will say Max Molyneux, 1985 -2185 Boxer and Photographer lived here.

    I can get In University Grounds with people thinking I'm a student too.

    It's only because I'm so hairy though I look like them.
