Still...wont be my parks will it, the ones i have gone to since i was a baby...just aint gunna be the same.
St. John's Gardens is a lovely haven in the middle of a bustling city centre. There's the little known one off Mount Pleasant where the Roscoe is/was (I think). The pier head will have grassed areas again too once the canal link is complete. There's St. Nic's gardens. Together with the big parks, we're supposed to have more than anywhere outside London.
Even so....they have taken away alot of it. It just isnt the same.
i found this intresting

having looked at one third of the graves. the weather started to close in so i made for the church while there i spoke to someone who looked like he had something to do with the church. within seconds he took me to hugh crows grave not the massive structure i first saw but right next to it.
i would never have found it myself as you have to stand on the grave to read it and the years have erased the words away i just about made out his name. i think i will return soon to do a rubbing just incase one day someone or group decides to restore it
i took 3 photos but havent got a clue how to post them ill invite a m8 to upload soon
i was suprised to find about 15 scousers buryed in aprox 1/3 off the graveyard
brilliant elf!
will look forward to seeing those pics:)

Oh dear. Now we're snookered.

Interesting stone on the side of the RS Clare building.

This company also celebrates its' old age on a banner (if the wind hasn't blown it off yet), and also on a message, painted on the road by the main gates. I guess there are just old vaults beneath this site.
