I have'nt been down the promenades for..erm 20 years.. but does anyone remember the little cannon that used to be connected to the iron railings and seawall ?
Sheesh I'm gettin ald :D
New Brighton can still be full(ish) of life in the summer or on a hot weekend any other time of the year in the age of global warming. Most of the activity occurs along Marine Promenade. Even the beach sees a bit of action when the weather's good. I'm hoping New Brighton's resting and not terminally ill, or worse still, dead. It looks great from Crosby Beach. Someone ought to launch a small ferry service between Waterloo/Crosby and New Brighton.
I can second the fact that New Brighton can get pretty busy during the summer or infact on any sunny day!
The thing is, apart from the "Bright Spot" and the Bowling Alley (now rebuilt with a laser-quest), there really isn't anything much to do. Even the pubs are starting to close!
New Brighton is only in the state that it is now due to the council and local's protesting over any new plans that would surely be good for what is now a glorified suburb of Wallasey.
Birkenhead. Can't remember which dock, but it's close to the submarine.

Nah, HDR's ****... ;)
Good stuff Dave. I think that's the East Float dock. I was there a year ago and I gave the camera to my girlfriend for a minute while I looked at something, and she took an amazing picture of that boat. Similar angle to yours in fact. I was bit miffed, as it was better than any photo I'd taken that day!!
We used to play around down there if out on a bike ride, and we were convinced the steel cables would suddenly snap and lash back. But so far they're still holding. An interesting sight for sure...
Dave: Great image; the dock is the East Float was you were to the East of Duke Street! Btw, as you were on the north side you were in Wallasey which is good.
Nice image, love the sky looking over to Birkenhead.
I unintentionally found myself down by where you were last night! I was walking from Conway Street to Seacombe Ferry via 12 Quays! (more to follow)

Mona Street, Claughton A bit of old Claughton Village which has engulfed by the mass development of Birkenhead during the 1800's. Laird changed the town forever as it was only small fishing village on the banks of Birkenhead Pool (now filled in) close to Woodside. Claughton Village was an agricultural settlement before becomming a part of Birkenhead. I bet the people living in these houses got a shock when everywhere around them suddenly built up in a short space of time.

Price Street, Birkenhead Looking upto Duke Street and North End.

Corporation Road/Freeman Street, Bhd Never noticed this before but it is a great relic reminding us of times past and when the Wirral Docks where more active than they currently are.

Egerton Bridge, 12 Quays This was renovated a few years ago and now provides an pleasant entrance to the 12 Quays Commercial Park.

East Float, Bhd/Wsey Bound The extensive East and West Floats partially divide Birkenhead from Wallasey. However, it is rather common to see the "Dock Road" which is on the Wallasey side referred to as being in Birkenhead for some reason.

Four Bridges, Wallasey/Bhd Bound At the East Float here, there used to be four bridges linking Birkenhead with Wallasey. Now there are two.

New Street, Seacombe I love this contrast in views with the terraces and the Beetham West Tower.

New Street, Seacombe Shame about United Utilities blocking the view over to the Pier Head; never mind ay!
Hi Wallasey
Fine pics. Thanks for posting them!
Chris
Really good pics. Thanks for posting. :)
Thanks guys, One place on Wirral where I really must get to is Rock Park in Rock Ferry. It's sort of Birkenhead's answer to Cressington but on a much smaller scale. I don't know when I will get round to there, possibly Friday.
Three Lighthouses, One windmill and an Observetory.

I have to say that you have posted some mighty fine pictures there Poli. I liked the train station platform covered in snow best.
^^Nice pics^^ :PDT11

The New Brighton photos are stunning!
Well composed set of pics from Liverpolitan. This is my favourite. Looks like a Hockney painting for some reason. I think it's the yacht and buoys in the backround that does it.
Well that's my opinion!:)

Went to Rock Ferry the other day, just going thorough images now so that I can post some during this week.
Thanks for the comments. I've just made my first video of other Liverpool photos I have taken - I cant find it in the index but the link is here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLNoNGDLvVc I hope that works. Make sure you turn your sound up, the music is a bit quiet.
Not only have you made a fine video it would also appear you are an accomplished pianist, Mr Poli.Quote:

Sorry I didn't post any here first like I normally do but I will make it up to yer seeing as Church Road in Tranmere is set to see it's shopping district cleared to make way for a new commercial development. I will also aim to get round to Derby Road as the side streets running off it are also set for demolition due to the fact that the area is in a HMRI area sadly.
Nice pics Wallasey
I keep meaning to get over the water for an explore. plus i want to have a pint in the Dock Hotel

An unusual shot of tree roots and sandstone.
Picture taken on Bidston Hill last week. The tree was uprooted in the recent high winds.
