It might be nice to from social perspective. however I recall the very end of those, and they were not that nice at all. Most are best gone forever. The people living in them were delighted to get out.

I would like to go back to when my gt gt grandad landed in Bond Street from Ireland and have a good talk with him and tell him of the people who came after him and the places they landed in, being Australia, America and all over the u.k. I would tell him how the courts finally went and newer slums went the same way, and even the poor are a weany bit richer in my day.:hug:

Scotland Road archetecture wise Is pretty soulless now and the houses look the same and too modern.

The evil councils of now and the 70's have taken away from good buildings. Some due to the wars too though which couldn't be helped.

Hardman's street scene shots are brill.

Spot on Max :PDT_Piratz_26:

this was reality, this is what people survived( our people ) and im proud of them. we should never forget where our ancestors came from. we can only read about these houses, to see them would stop us moaning about our own living.

Can't - it's a secret!! :)
I wouldn't want to be hiding in Wolverton Street - I don't think the case would be as intriguing if we knew for definite who the killer was...

What replaced the courts were infinitely superior - at any time. In the courts, and in general, there was social respect and discipline, moreso than after the courts. That was despite the courts not because of them.

The last court went in the early 1960s.

If you could go back in time would it not be really great to go back to a time when you could stop some massive tragedy. But then how you could stop the Hillsborough disaster or Abervan would be the next problem.

Found it very difficult to choose one particular event but decided on the construction of St. Georges's Hall.

Would also like to go back to the days when I could have a night out without worrying about drunken yobs, money, kids, etc.

Or being able to buy 8 Walkers Toffees for a penny.

Or being able to afford to go to the match, pictures, pub, etc.

Better stop or this list could become endless!!!

Hmm,either...the 1930s to ride on a Green Goddess,see those seven miles of docks crawling with action and the Pier Head with a trans-atlantic liner tied up,wander through all those sadly-departed department stores in their hey-day,and see a film or three in those wonderful and equally departed super-cinemas...or the 1500s to see when the town was only seven streets and the castle,and all around was fields and moors.

Dave.

Go to the Everton boardroom meeting in 1892 and tell them to pay the bloody rent to John Houlding.

Well for me I supposed it would have to be Woolton Garden Fete, 6th July 1957.

For beatles fans, you'll know what I'm on about.

Some great posts, I like the last 3. :)
