Had a good mooch around there a couple of years back. Rather than add to the cracking pics on this thread, I'll post the plaques instead. I won't post the addresses, you'll have to go down there and explore yourselves:unibrow:

All those photo's bring back a lot of memories for me! several of them were owned by the Liverpool Radium Institute ,where I worked, Next time your in the area Kev, how about a photo of the Radium Inst. in Hardman St? Ta.:handclap:
And he's a Jack the Ripper suspect as well! Not that I believe it. I said the following in my essay, "Jack the Ripper's Liverpool," originally published in Ripperologist and now available on this site:Quote:

Did he take his reforming efforts a stage further? In 1888, as leader of her Majesty’s loyal opposition, and aged 79 at the time, he would seem to make an unlikely Ripper suspect. Supporters of the Gladstone-as-Ripper theory point to the fact that he remained a robust man even in old age, and could still chop wood on his Hawarden estate outside of Chester. But was he handy with a knife as well as an axe?
Meanwhile, fantastic pictures in this thread, everyone! Glad to see we at Yo Liverpool are adding to what our knowledge of one of Liverpool's most famous streets!
