No quite a street name but an interesting warning sign on Brodie Avenue, Garston
In reference to the 2nd sign, I understand from other tour guides that the Penny Lane sign is often painted over by students - last 2 letters of 1st word being replaced by "is!"

now here's an unusual one.
at first it makes no sense. a road sign with Bootle on in Netherton with a number 10.
however Netherton was once known as Bootle 10...my hubby lived there for several years.

:PDT_Piratz_26:Good pics Quincy and all:handclap:
I first saw this over 8 years ago and had forgotten all about it until I went past it today. I personally can't recall seeing any others with the full post code on.

I'd say a building which receives a lot of post.
Perhaps a Government department?
Or a mail order firm?
I suspect the 'XX' is only used for a particular reason, and this one is more for the benefit of the postmen than the public.
Then again, I could be completely wrong! LOL!
it's just a row of houses. no businesses along there at all. nearest none house is the local church.Quote:

Two interesting old signs.
High Street/Picton Road. Unusual side-by-side street-signs.

Boundary St off the Dock Rd near Sandon Dock
I used to live in Varley Road , the bottom of the road had L18 from Holmefoeld Road end(painted over) and the top was L19 ???
I have posted this one before but in another thread. I think it should be in this thread.

There is! There's a social security office there. St. Mary's house,Ithink:034:Quote:

Love this thread...such interesting names etc., When I was a child we first lived in Towson Street, then when the house was bombed we moved to live with my grandparents in Alderville Road. Then when my dad came out of the Navy and became a policeman we lived in Dawber Street. Near there was Ogden's tobacco factory and Barker and Dobson sweet factory which I think was on Boundary Lane. My dad then became a Prison Officer at Walton Prison and we went to live with my grandma at 49 Frampton Road. Then my dad was beaten up by a prisoner, ended up in Walton Hospital fighting for his life. When he eventually recovered he wasn't allowed to go back to a top security prison, so we moved again...this time to the open prison at Sudbury in Derbyshire. I was nearly 14 then, and we never lived in Liverpool again after that. I do visit when I can, but not as often as I'd like, that's why I love forums like this were I can still see some of the old places and be reminded of the great city that I still feel is my home.
Thanks to all of you who post photos and start interesting threads like this one.

If Carling made stones, they'd be the best stones....[gruff voice] in the wooooorld!
More "Stones" of Liverpool.
What, no streetsign?
It's off West Derby Road, in front of the Casino.

Another longish street of setts as well as Gascoyne st and Gt Richmond st. I wonder what the longest one is?
I really like these pictures. I wouldn't come to this forum if I wouldn't like them.Quote:
