Liverpool in the 70s

Just in case anyone is wondering, this is the picture we are discussing:



Looking at it again I don't think that tower block is Entwhistle Heights, wasn't that more of a slab block.

Being forensic about it, the shadows of the woman and child are quite short, which suggests its near noon, in which case south is to our right, and the street is running from south west to north east.

"hey la, what's this street called?"

Is it not Grove Street? Not sure myself but I thought I recognised the Sheltered Scheme that stands on that road. But then again.....

Great pics Danesis. Thanks

and the one going across is chatham st and sandon street.

Have a look at the link and it shows two sides to Entwistle Heights. The side on show on this topic is facing towards Grove Street

Yes, its me, I'm thinking of Toxteth Heights rather than Entwhistle Heights.

So, back to my original thought that its Myrtle Street, looking East towards Grove Street.

These Boundary Street ones look like Great Mersey Street to me, where the Rotunda is now? I can't remember if Boundary street doors were at ground level or up steps like these though.

My pic of Great Mersey street. Look at the building at the extreme left and compare the row.

I'd say 'ourblock' and 'ged' are right with their guesses...

Falkner Street, looking towards Chatham Street/Sandon Street (with Grove Street in the distance)

Great Mersey Street. This is the part that has the Rotunda College/Nursery, near to Stanley Road end. Just look at the window sill line on the building on the left. It is higher than the other buildings. They're the same in Geds picture also. I've got a picture of this row from a couple of months ago, and it looks the same to me.

Of course it is, and that's the nursery on the right. I said my memory isn't what it was!
