Unseen Liverpool

I know I'm still way off-topic, but quite rightly, we're not allowed to use the "N" word these days.
How does Jonathan Ross get away with saying "4 P**fs and a piano" every week?
To me that "P" word is just as offensive as the "N" word.

As it's SUMMER, some 1955 snaps of Southport;

Yet more 1995 cinema pics;

The Swan Picturedrome, Old Swan
The Palladium, Seaforth
Gaumont, Dingle
Gaumont, Anfield (Oakfield Road)
The Curzon, Prescot Road

Out of interest, does anyone know of any good pics of the old Pier Head Bus Station??? Most Ive seen only show the roof. I wouldn't mind knowing what the entrance from the dock road was like???????

Hunts Cross Station in April, 1989, before the "Waiting Room" pub (X3)
Queing for last show at the Forum, Lime Street, 29 January 1998
1959 advert from Irwins (taken over by Tesco)

Great pics once again Sirob. Queuing up at the pictures,now there's a pastime.
I remember it going round the block when Grease was on. Jeezus,and I was in that line.The shame:PDT_Xtremez_42:

Some 1995 pics of the Woolton Cinema;

Curtains opening
Projector beam
Projection Room
Changing a carbon arc rod

Most cinemas also had a slide projector, here is a typical slide from the Majestic

Great, Sirob.

Here's some taken at the closing in September 2006.
Luckily, it's reopened.

Good to hear, Philip, that one cinema rose from the dead! Lets have some more of the Woolton then, all1995;

Watering the hanging baskets
The entrance door-looking out!
Decorative plasterwork(X2)

And another Majestic slide. These ones you could scratch your own words on! Reproduced so that the grid is visible, this would not be on the screen.

This is the International Garden Festival site in 1983

Some shots of preparing for Rainhill 150 at Bold Colliery/Power Station.
This was a restricted area, so who you knew counted!

as I've been stuck in for various reasons - including a bad back which prevented me from going to the airport thing GRRR - I've been swearing at my scanner again.

pics are obviously rubbish, but it's the backgrounds that are the best bits. I nearly threw these away years ago as you can hardly see what I was supposed to be photographing. For some reason I kept them and with all the building work that's gone on I'm glad I did.

I think this was the Battle of Atlantic celebration. there were lots of planes and choppers anyway. No zoom on my camera then which is just as well as it turns out. All this area is now covered by Malmaison, apartments, offices etc . quite a transformation.
