Penrhyn Street off Scotland Rd,decorated for the opening of Christ the King cathedral.
Not sure if I`ve posted it before,from one of my slides
Great to see the photograph of Penrhyn Street decorated for the opening of the cathedral of Christ the King. Not sure if you have posted this image here before. It's the first time I have seen it at least.

Lord Street.
It never ceases to amaze me ,if all these people are in town daily shopping, whose working to earn the money they are spending
Amazing pic's Joe of Preston Street buildings, lived in Liverpool or surrounding area all of 60 odd yrs and that's the first time I've ever seen those buildings,they were always hidden by Manchester Street. What else is hidden away?Quote:

United Utilities working in William Brown Street yesterday,hope they don`t break any of the old flag stones and replace them with tarmac
Thanks, Joe. I agree with you in the hope that they don't mess up what was there. Maybe they are doing it because of the need to repair or replace sewer lines or electric cables etc below the flag stones?
The pavement around there is in a terrible dangerous condition ...they can only improve the situation....providing they don't tarmac obviously !

Those cobbles were never relaid properly,last time they dug them up!
I bet the number of qualified cobble layers is getting smaller and smaller each year...:rolleyes:Quote:

Yes the popular term for them is cobblestones but cobblestones were used to pave the older streets with rounded stones of different sizes. The nineteenth century innovation was to pave the streets with rectangular setts of a standard size.Quote:

A large number of the old sett layers will be set in the ground already.Quote:

CP,didn't you notice the thread was beginning to flag?
Ha,ha, very good everyone :snf (41):
That's true,(just using common vernacular!:unibrow:) but I don't think you use cement/mortar to set them? The skilled setter's have probably already gone,as it was some time ago,when they did this,and even to my untrained eye,they didn't look right then!Quote:

Good pics, Lindy. Thanks for sharing them with us. Not cobbles of course but mosaic, carrying on the tradition of mosaic floors found in ancient times, in Roman villas in England, and by Italian immigrant craftsmen in Liverpool shops and other establishments.
All the best
Chris
Very good that. However, when you think of how the Italians used to do the mosiacs..now that was skill.Quote:

Autumn on Pilgrim Street
That reminds me, 'sett' streets that were thorough fares, e.g. burlington street had flage stones laid like tram lines so as the wheels of horse drawn wagons would be less liable to damage. And easier to haul I assume.Quote:

Greek Street,the new build on the corner is called Windsor Court,I presume after the pub which stood
there.
