Thanks, Lindylou. A pleasure to share them.
These pics were taken on a "Magical History Tour" of the Beatles haunts in Liverpool. It was a wet, gloomy day in 1983, but this just adds atmosphere.
Park Road, Toxteth, through the front window of the bus.
Similar.
Windsor/Admiral Street(x2)
Ringo's former house.

That would be the Windy House in the background.
The last picture looks like one of the streets running up from Great Homer Street to Netherfield Road.
Cannot place the third one.
Thanks, Samp, for your information.
Chinatown in 1983;
Seel Street
Chinese grocer in Nelson Street
Chinese food for sale
Seel Street, towards Berry Street
"Pagoda" Community Centre roof
Yes Samp you could be right about the Fairy Street Photo:PDT11
Could the third image be in the vicinity of the Collegiate?? The castelled building in the background could be a fit. In that case, the third image would be around Springfield/ opposite where Staples is now.Quote:

87?
Was there an 87 route?
Lovely photo. :PDT11
what a great bus. :PDT11I really do miss that green.
the 86 and 87 buses replaced the 8 and 33 tram routes.
the 87 disappeared for a while but made a comeback in the mid 80's briefly.
the route numbers change so often now I can hardly keep up
That bus!! Got it now!!!
It was an on loan London Transport special edition Routmaster. The London red is inside. Liverpool loaned a bus to London, I think an Atlantean. It was red painted with London Transport on the side (the London red can be seen in the picture) running the 27 route for a number of months. I used it a bit as a kid. It obviously was painted Liverpool green and probably then red and given back.
Great pics Merseywail. Old Haymarket/St. John's Lane has many memories for me when catching the bus to Kirkdale to see my (then girlfriend) or putting her on the last bus home.
Some more bus shots.
Two ribble buses outside Skelhorne st depot.
The unusual rear ends of the early corpy Atlantean's, anyone know where this is?
One of the unpainted ''silver'' corpy buses by the still being built st Johns centre.
All photos the late A Richardson ''photobus''
That 3rd one is South Castle street.
Merseywail, your great pics take me back! I remember that the corpi had three "experimental" buses, E1, E2, E3. The last one was often on the No 3 route from Spellow Lane in the '60's. The E3 was longer, but was rear entry. It also had heating!
Croxteth Hall Estate is now a country park. Some pics from its final life as an estate.

Interesting selection! Anymore "Cavern" pic's?
ta, steve.
Sirob...thats the Queensway Tunnel Mouth...you can see the old column that used to stand on the roundabout in the background!
Great images once again...Does anyone know if the Huskisson Mauseleum is still intact? I noticed the statue dedicated to him on Princes Avenue, L8 is missing the person himself! Not a good sight.
the statue is now at Dukes Terrace off Duke St, Russ
http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e2...icture2170.jpg
I've got a pic of the mausaleum somewhere will add it to this post when I find it. so many files to go through lol
There are one or two more "Cavern" pictures, but I thought that it was well documented. As there is interest, I'll put them in a future post.
British Railways had a vast network around Liverpool. These pics are time capsules of the railway detail that lasted, mouldering away, until the wholesale rationalisation of the sixties. I have no information as to locations, but I suspect the docks or Edge Hill.
They were mixed up with family pictures from the Kirkdale area.
sorry it took so long, my windows crashed :shock:Quote:

Yeh,your right Sirob,the Cavern is well documented, but it tends to be the same pic's,again and again! It's nice to see some different people, even if the doorways just the same, so your posts are appreciated!:)Quote:

Fantastic!!! Just as I recall. That was the old entrance nearer the stage - am I right? The new entrance was further down at the other end of the tunnels.
Thanks a lot for them,sirob. great pic's, I hav'n't seen before!:handclap:
Unseen relics of the past are up, down, or to the side. Here are a few, taken last week.
Thanks for the clarification Quincy!Quote:
