Ha,Ha, "cardiac hill",what a suitable name!:nod:
Wow! that building only just been demolished aftre all this time.
If mem serves me right that was the methodist church
It is that park Mandy however, I believe that's the side of the Popular Cinema.
Check out the roof line, end bit of wall against the next two pics.
See how the roof tiles come straight down to the gutter with no square edge of wall/roof like on the 'Everton Terrace' pic.

But on this pic of the Popular taken from Corinth Tower, see the square edge like on the ET pic.

I thought it could have been the Pop ( my dad used to tell me all his goings on at "the back of the Pop" haha) but I wasn't sure exactly where it was.....a bit before my time

Mary Hardmans (The Thistle, I think) was on the corner of Waterhouse St.
I remember, when the flats were being built on Everton Terrace, seeing workmen with sparklers.
In the evening me and my mates used to play on the site and we found a few of these sparklers where the men had been working and took them home and hid them. At the weekend when my Mam and Dad went out my mates came round and we tried lighting these sparklers on the gas ring. They got so hot we couldn't hold them and they still would not light. Some years later I realised they were welding rods.:o
The way the streets were built around here was amazing, being on different levels.
Off Everton Terrace between Waterhouse St. and Sampson St. there was a place we knew as "The Grove", (on researching Kellys Gores I think it may be called Blundell Terrace) It was on a higher level than the rest of the houses on Everton Terrace, and had a flight of steps going to it. There was a row of maybe 10 houses on one side, railings overlooking Everton Terrace, and a high wall round the other two sides. Opposite the houses there was what could have been a bit of garden area, and a great big sandstone "cliff" in the corner which we used to climb on.
It was the likes of all this that gave the area its character.
How I wish I could go back.
