With the merger of the adjacent Island Rd Methodist Church with the Garston United Reform Church onto one site, the future of the old school building is under discussion and is uncertain at the moment. The church needs to raise about £1 million GBP to refurbish the church hall and main church building. Offers of donations should be addressed to the Garston Park Church treasurer.

Interesting terracotta tile work typical of Coop buildings of the period around the turn of the 20th C
Interesting limestone building built 1931.

Thanks, Taffy. The Floating Roadway was certainly one of the marvels of Liverpool that has been lost. :(Quote:

RGT date stone on second terraced block in attached photo
Built 1885 when the Lark Lane of Toxteth Park was under the control of the County of Lancashire Police and not Liverpool Police
Thanks, Taffy! Great stuff!

This 1906 date stone is on a row of shops in Smithdown Place, Wavertree. Named after the builder Charles Berrington who built many of the houses on the Heathfield Estate off Church Rd, Wavertree
Pebble dash exteriors had well and truly arrived in Wavertree by 1926. Spotted on a small parade of shops between Lance Lane and Mosspits Lane.
The following is a yeoman's cottage from the seventeenth century at Springwood, Garston, on Mather Avenue. The datestone under the mullioned window in the gable, states within a chiselled heart, along with initials, "1684." Possibly one of my friends on Yo Liverpool! could get a better photograph of the datestone. Thanks in advance.

No problem Chris, I'll do it tomorrow. One minor point Springwood is in Allerton not Garston !! It's the L19 post code that confuses people.Quote:

Once located at the top of Charles Berrington Rd. Demolished early part of the 20th C. See

Here's a couple of photographs of me at Tuebrook House getting a photograph of the 1615 date stone above the door, pics courtesy of Gerard. Unfortunately my close-up did not turn out so maybe someone else could get it. :)

That ubiquitous Charles Berrington has his name on yet another row of terraced houses he put up.
Spotted high up on SS Matthew and James Church of England Church, Mossley Hill. Church rather narcistically named after its benefactor one Matthew James Glenton. Money left to build the church providing it was built in the township of Garston
http://www.acny.org.uk/venue.php?V=15164
In the Edge Hill district of Liverpool. Above JVC shop sited at the junction of Smithdown Rd L7 and Scholar St L7
1874 Date stone relates to the time when it was a Wesleyan Methodist Church. The church became St Mary's after WW2 and replaced the previously named St Mary's, Sandown Park which was destroyed by aerial bombing
More great pics. Many thanks, Taffy, for your unstinting efforts in photographing these datestones. :handclap:
Chris
This is a covered reservoir on top of Woolton Hill sited surprisingly enough on Reservoir Rd. Date stone near the base of the tower
Great to see this, Taffy! Many thanks. :PDT11Quote:

Superb pics and info Taffy :handclap::handclap:
Interesting date stone on a recently refurbished Victorian building in central Liverpool
Fine photographs. Thanks, Taffy. :handclap:
Interesting Victorian office building in central Liverpool, built 1879.
Nice use of new 2007 plaque mounted in original surround featuring otters fishing. Let's hope Liverpool's itinerent building renovators don't use this as a source of raw materials, such as old stone paving slabs, as they did the original steps.
Adelaide Street/Edge Lane. There are several other date-stones on the buildings at the ends of these terraces. I don't normally see date-stones this close to the ground. This stone reads 'Oscar Lindop March 1892'
I know another date-stone with the name Lindop, in Smithdown Road (Lindop's Buildings A.D. 1905)

Regent Street. Another low-level date-stone. This reads 'This stone was laid by Mrs. L.H.Wright 4th April 1928'
