The latest additions to this page
http://inacityliving.piczo.com/?g=44843738&cr=7
on my site include 7 photos of streets demolished and abolished for the building of the Royal Hospital and some from around Anfield on matchday in December 69.
The last 4 around Everton and Myrtle street are very atmospheric too.
It's taken many trips to the LRO and with thanks to individual contributors too, the 6000th pic has just been uploaded to my site today including these.
A busy Queen Square in 1951

More than 5750 of the photos are previously unpublished though these two were back in the 1980s, the LRO books now being out of print.
.
That picture of Queens Square is amazing.
Spent this morning uploading another few dozen pics to the site.
If you like 40s and 50s tram photos and the views they bring, check out this page.

Are you from around these areas or just like the old black and white shots from the decades gone by. Dozens more LRO shots uploaded to this page of my site yesterday: http://inacityliving.piczo.com/?g=44843738&cr=7
And some to some of the other pages but the home page will tell you which pages are updated.
Enjoy.
Been on there,
Still professional as ever Ged :handclap:

I'll just ask her.
Excellent photos Ged. How do you copy the Liverpool Record Office Photos so clearly? Do you have a special camera photo copy stand. If so I'd like to know where to get oneQuote:

If your camera permits? turn of its colour ie switch it to B&W...afterall they're B&W photies and will look naff in colour mode also if yer camera permits turn it anti shake mode...can't remember what its called on my super duper Fuji.Quote:

Almost missed this post with all them 'click liverpool' threads appearing.
Those click ones are a nuisense when they're duplicated. I clicked on new posts and there were 3 pages of them.
I was going to do the black and white photos by each post code to a page but its too far gone now. Besides, you've got to look at the lot to get to possibly the one you're looking for whereas clicking on the postcode page, you'd miss the rest.
Well that's my excuse anyway and i'm sticking to it. :)
I'm not complaining about ur length (of the page !!!), but I've got a very short attention span and would lose interest till another time. What about in-page hyperlinks ?Quote:

Having just uploaded the 6,500th pic to my site, it's just gone past the 200,000th hit on the webcounter.
Thanks to everyone, especially as i've just found out that when uploading, they don't count as hits as you're on building mode rather than visiting :)
Ged, do you have a Wirral section on your site? B#'head and Wallasey are a part of Liverpool as Huyton is.
Aint seen much about Wirral on this site, or have I missed it.Quote:
