Except to say it made way for the Nautical Training College when it moved from Oldham Street (Dickie Bond's catering college).
But I don't when it was actually demolished. But I'll make inquiries.

If possible easy, idiot proof instructions please Thanks Helen Stanley

I noticed a postcard for sale, a couple of years ago, Macsymons Buildings, next to the Sailors Home (another building in Church Street is advertised in one of the windows as 'Sale Rooms')
The building shown is mentioned in the National Archives, concerning bomb damage:
"Canning Place: correspondence, papers and drawings concerning war damage to premises of MacSymons Stores Ltd. 720KIR/2101 1940-54"

Great photos, Joe.
I don't know how I missed this thread.
Here's the Clarence Dock chimneys, minutes before they were blown up (down?) in 1994.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/4443567...96926/sizes/l/
A bit of unknown Clarence Dock history..
The unknown gaol cell...
The photo below shows the entrance to a 'cooling' gaol at The Clarence Dock...
behind where I'm standing in the photo is the actual gaol cell..
it was used mainly to lock up drunken foreign Seamen that had had one too many and were rowdie around the Dock Rd area....
This Cell entrance area is now very securely tinned up..the whole area will be tidied up and made into a tourist attraction...I'm told this old gaol cell area will be made to look like it did as sort of museum....most of the area has already been tidied with the old workmens huts being removed....I have videos I made inside this old cell/gaol...and videos all over the area inc inside the huts that have been removed....
Hopefully, future generations will be able to view them to see what the area once looked like..
Clarence Dock... the cooler..
more photos in the film strip under the main photo..
click any photo to view...
.... inc The Pier Head area canal link under construction..
and lots of unusual photos around the north Dock Rd area...
Dock Rd people going about their daily lives..
views from high up in The Stanley Tobacco warehouses..
The Cunard Building basement showing the remains of the old Georges Dock wall..
hidden in a little room way underneath The Cunard Building..
all on my website on the album showing the photo below..
with hundreds more to be added... when I find the time.
On >>> Here
That brings back some memories.Quote:

Excellent photo's and info GD,Gerard Fleming & ellergreen.
