Have you tried the tower experience Brian,well worth the climb and the money.

I know this is a long shot but has anyone on this forum have any old photos of Queensland Street near Chatsworth Street.
I've traipsed through quite a few sites, all good photos mind, but cannot find one from this area.
Many thanks in anticipation.
Ged, I've gone through your site but failed to find one of this street. I dont know if I've missed one but would you know if you there was one there?
By the way your site is absolutely magnificent.
OMG, Not on Ged'#s site. Well then Ged,what have you got to say for yourself.? Sort it lad. :PDT11Quote:

Looking at some of those photos brought back some nice memories especially around Vauxhall Rd.
Keep up the good work.
Thanks Brian, it's on the list. :PDT_Piratz_26:
This is on the corner of Norfolk Street/Simpson Street. We could not figure out the name? Anyone know anything about it? I was with Ged, Mart and Johnny when I took these, their as thick as me ha ha.

Can anyone read the name clearly?

Looks like 61,63,65
Hooper, to me Spike
Saw Simon o`Brien on T V or a newspaper showing his conversion of an old property into a home.
The front entrance was very similar with the stone over the front door.it`s what I remembered most about it.
Possibie your building is an old flats conversion
Numbers are right Joe! and if I take me specs off and 'squint'! it looks like A.S Hooper. (Perhaps it was the premises of 'Mr Hooper' the 'Cooper'!!!lol
Guinness was based on Norfolk St. and the small building shown in the picture was used by them for some years as the a warehouse used bottle store.
I've no idea what it was used for before Guinness used it.

old liverpool building by exacta2a, on Flickr
St George`s Hall floor is uncovered this week for visitors,entrance fee £1.
The balconies are closed though, so a chance is missed to show the floor from a different angle
Best viewed large
Great photos. One of the best buildings in the world.
The architect Harvey Lonsdale Elmes also designed Liverpool Collegiate as well as Thingwall Hall.
St. Georges hall is Majestic, when you go inside it takes your breath away, splendid. :handclap:
Nice photos GD. :handclap:
as you say pity the balconies are closed.........
Cracker photo's GD.Nice one. :handclap:
Great pics GD, I must visit when I there, thank you !
The good news is Brian, according to my copy of the LRO indexes, Queensland st is there both for City Engineers photos (old) and 70s/80 folder (possibly Ainscough pics)Quote:

Great sky colours there and a different perspective, not the same old, same old. I notice the blue crane is down now at the library. Still a long way to go before moving back in though according to my friends down at the LRO and long may it continue as the archive retrieval system is a lot better now ;)
Great pictures GD.
