Paul, it's great there. Being there this morning brought back so many memories I hadn't experienced since I was about 12 years of age. My little lad was running around everywhere buzzing :)
I understand where you're coming from,although I'm from the North end my dad wasn't and he used to take me to all these places as a kid and they all hold special memories for me also.:PDT_Aliboronz_24:Quote:

Snapped this rather fine looking frontage at the lower end of Lodge Lane Toxteth this morning. 1866 - details appreciated if you know much about it.

Lighthouse could do with a lick of paint, spent many a day down in Hale and at the Lighthouse, a great view is from either Frodsham hill or Runcorn Hill on a clear day you could see across the river to the lighthouse and in the distance Liverpool skyline. I might get up there take some pictures and show you soon.
Brilliant! - The LIghthouse could deffo do with some paint, agreed.
"It still looks 'Great' to me"!! Many years ago I drove a delivery van for Irwins', (bottom of Garston Village) and the couple who lived in the cottage at the base of the lighthouse were one of of my customers, can't remember their name now but a very nice couple, always had a cup of tea for me and I must admit I enjoyed the trip out to, and around, Hale. quite a few of the people in Hale were Irwins customers! Love all those pics you and others submit to this site, Thanks!! NormGQuote:

Georgian Architecture at its best. Unique doorways. Rodney Street is Liverpool's Harley Street with Drs and Architects in residence. Check out the full set of Rodney Street door pictures here.
My dentist is at Rodney Street.:PDT_Aliboronz_24:
Nice to sit by the Anglican by there too.
Yay Woolton again!:PDT_Aliboronz_24:
Would love to do a run in the forest around there at night!:PDT_Aliboronz_24:
I love going to Everton Ridge when I am over on the Liverpool side of the water. Words cant describe what I feel when stood ontop of that hill. You feel as if you're ontop of the world; especially as you seem to look down at the Pier Head and the Wirral!
On the Wirral side, I like to go to Vale Park in New Brighton. It is another place where I could spend an eternity just sitting and standing there whilst looking over to the city.
We have so many places in and around the city that provide such "tranquilty". I mean, it's not everwhere where you can decide to jump on a merseyrail trian and go off to New Brighton or Formby is it? It's not everywhere where you can sit on the No60 and look over to the world famous skyline in one direction and then look over to North Wales in another direction is it?
Oh, how lucky we are!
The view from Everton Park is great. It's within walking didtance from where I live. When there are fireworks displays on in town we go up there to look over. It's a good vantage point. We've seen some great displays from there.
I love the view of the Welsh hills on a clear day. :)

More quality architecture in town I wonder how many people never see things like this because they never look up?
Exactly Paul, look up towards the wonderous architecture in Liverpool.
Here's a variety of images I took last year...

This is a shop on Poulton Road, Wallasey. I took it as the corn sheaf emblem above the shop shutters really makes the building stand out amongst the rest!

An experimental shot of St Georges Hall at night, the detail of the building has come out suprisingly well!

Finally, Here is just a view of the lock up on Everton Ridge on a wet autumn day!
But do look up at the buildings in the city, and the surrounds. Wigan has some nice buildings as does Bootle and Preston too!
What an unusual shaped building!,does anyone know what it was used for originally & what its uses have been since.
a lock up for drunks?
That lock up is also on the Everton badge. Nuff said. :)

Martins Bank which went on to become Barclays Bank,some of Britains gold reserve was here during WW2 and the English Heritage open day gives you the chance to view this building.:celb (23):
...looks a lovely place :PDT_Piratz_26:
I remember when I was a kid putting sixpence a week in a place like this. Takes gaul eh? The manager wore a dark overcoat and a homburg hat, he waited outside of a night for his ride. Looked more like a villain. :unibrow:

A unique and slightly hidden structure on our waterfront - the 6 sided clock. I think there's only 2 of these in the world or something like that!
Hopefully if the docks around the clock are rejuvinated, the tower will be restored and given the TLC it truely deserves! It could be such a selling point for a unique dockside development
St. Andrew's Scotch Church, Rodney Street - Simply stuning. However, I couldn't take pics of the main part due to it being surrounded by nets and scafolding. This seriously needs restoration.
Before 1793 there was no place of worship for the many Presbyterians who had moved from Scotland to Liverpool. A small group led by Dr. John McCulloch raised enough money to build a kirk on Oldham Street. It was opened in the early summer of 1793 with seating for 820 people. On 6 March 1823 25 members of the congregation led by Dr. John McCulloch left over the appointment of the Reverend John Stewart by Mr. McIver over the Reverend Dr. David Thom. They agreed to build a new church and to offer it to the Reverend Dr. David Thom. He accepted and opened the Music Hall as a temporary chapel on 23 March 1823. On 17 June 1823 the foundation stone of the new church in Rodney Street was laid and it opened on 3 December 1824. The church was closed in 1975, but Sunday services continued in a suitable room in Liverpool Cathedral.
