That terrace looks like it's secured as it to be renovated.

Does anyone remember this in the 70's on Gwendoline Street?
It was my auntie's house, her and my dad painted it.

I remember it very well. Original and superb. We need a few more of them.
Congrats to your Dad!!!!
I can remember one other mural on the corner of Mill Street/Northumberland Street. It was of a large ship. I've never seen a pic of this one.
Some photos taken last year of Lodge Lane & Beaumont Street

Wasn't this Ivor Ali's house, I think he painted it! He is known as the soul singer Ivan Stax. The ship mural was painted by a lad called John Foster, I used to play football with him,(then we got a ball :shock:)
Cheers :PDT11
Great house there Daisy Chains.. too bad someone painted over the fine work of art... It definitely looked like a garden of flower power.. Loved it.. How creative to go beyond the norm. Would make more people come alive , to not have to conform to boring colors all the time...:handclap:
Nice pics also Robbo.. :handclap:
Took some pics, looks like something is afoot in them there stables!

Alright, DC, I dont know when you took the photo, I go past here quite often, and the other week there were guys in hi viz jackets taking readings, said they were being knocked down, and guess what's going there, right along to Hill St, and up to Bewy? LUXURY APARTMENTS :handclap: :PDT_Aliboronz_24:
so I dont know what the blocks are for, maybe to secure the building, or were they taking them out of the bilding?
It was going to be a comedy club a good few years back, but they found Asbsetos in there :ninja: So that is maybe why nothing has been done?
I heard recently that Steble Street Baths (now part of Park Road Sports Centre), is to close. I haven't seen any official notice of this yet, though.
That's where my children learned to swim. They're like fish in water now.
Any updates on Steble Street?
The schools will not be using the baths any more , but it's still open to the public ,
Just found some long lost pics, This one is outside my shop in Granby St. Taken in 1961-2. My shop was the one on the left. Waterways, do you remember when Granby was paved with sets?. That was one of my favourite cars I ever owned.

This one is me in the shop. Who recognises the old sweet brands?.

Great pics Shytalk :handclap:
What smashing pics. I love to see old photos like that. :)
Love Hearts are still made in the same wrapping too - my little girl loves them. Se read the words on them. So are Polo mints. Not sure if the Polo Fruits are still made. I "think" Black Jacks are still made.
Did your shop have the Corgi toy cars in the window?
No, half the window was used to store bread, we did a huge bread trade, the other half was canned goods etc.
In those days Love Hearts were 2d, Swizzles 1d. Black Jacks or Walkers were 4 a penny.
That area was very highly populated, most houses having at least 4 families, that shop was a goldmine but I was too young to appreciate it and sold it in 1964.
Granby St. was numbered in a strange manner, I was the sixth shop from Parly and my address was 6A Granby St.
Some other prices I remember. Premium tea like PG or Typhoo was 1/9 a quarter. The cheapest Gold Stream was 9d a quarter and you could even get 2oz packets for 6d.
Swizzles are still made. That's right four Walkers for a penny. I remember they made it 3 four Walkers for a penny. I was shocked.
Just as well you got rid in 1964 as demolition devastated the area not long after that. I knew some people who had a shop in Granby St. Going towards Upper Parli, the last general newsagent/sweet shop on the left. They were not short of money.
When I lived there the newsagents was owned by a Mrs. Hughes. Her husband owned the two secondhand shops next door to it. When Mrs. Hughes retired she sold it to the Greeves family who lived over a store further up the street.
This might refresh your memory, They had a daughter called June and a son a bit younger, can't remember his name.
I can remember someone asking about Dwerryhouse Street. This is from Dec. 2006. This was at the very edge of Toxteth, and has since been demolished.

Somebody asked me to photograph 15 Granby street as his wife was born there, it was Sid's cafe in the 1960s. Hoever, Granby st only seems to start at No.35 these days. Did it once run from Upper Parly as I notice you now have to go up Mulgrave st, do a left into Selbourne then a right into Granby where it starts with the newsagents on the corner - ie No.35.
Anyway, some pics from todays visit to the LRO and the Granby area.
