Unseen Liverpool

Does anyone know what the building with the blue window frames was?

This was one of the many chapels that used to be found all over Liverpool.
Located on Goodison Road, Walton, the building survives as a gym,
Interior photo's of these are rare, but I have two of this one. note the compact organ and the basic seating!

My collection has remained unseen, until now, so enjoy.

The pics;
Sunset, from Sheil Park flats, 25 December 1971.
Consort Street, Edge Hill, August 1971 (typical 2 up, 2 down terraces c/w shop)
Everton Heights, August 1970.
Off St. Domingo Road, Everton, August 1970

Probably! It was pretty pathetic,a plastic model of the boat,with a string of fairy lights across the window! There always seemed to be a light on,in the back,and we wondered if their was some transmitting,going on,as Merseyside had some tradition of pirate radio. :nod:

Being a lot more into histroical photographs of the city, I feel some threads could benefit resurrection, especially for the newbies, this being one of them. :PDT11:PDT_Piratz_26:

Are Everton Heights the flats that used to be on Netherfield Road? If so that is so strange, Yesterday I got in touch with an old friend from 40 years ago! and she used to live in the flats in Netherfield Road. Also my uncle lived in the flats in Sheil Road. He lived quite high up, but I cant remember what floor, as I was fairly young when I visited, but I know I didnt like looking out of the window, and I felt as if the flats were swaying. ha ha.

Everton Heights were on Nethy, there were 20 odd high rise along there.

Another fantastic thread - one of my faves - that deserves resurrecting to the top periodically.

Sirob comes to our meet ups, in fact we tend to fit them in around him as he comes down from Sonnie Botland. He is currently working on the definitive Cinema book.

Cheers Ged, havent seen Sirob arund for a while :)
