Not sure who Mr Lindop was. Photographed at Smithdown Place end of Smithdown Rd
On Smithdown Place, Wavertree otherwise known as Penny Lane Corner. Charles Berrington came to live as a poor carter and left as an extremely wealthy man mainly the result of property development.
Thanks Taffy :)
I know it's been in the Liverbird section, old police station, Westminster Rd

first off, apols for the reddish tint on some, got new camera today and had colour set wrong to start with. zoom is great, but doesn't cope with dull weather as well as my old one did.

Brilliant pics again Quincy!:handclap:
Nelson Street.
There's a story behind that 1887 date, which first appeared a couple of years ago when a new roof was put on the building.
Joseph Sharples has proved that the building was built about 1857, as a factory.
Langdon's, who made tents, etc., took the building over about 1887, but the front is still as it was in the 1850s.
Europleasure took over Langdons in the 1980s and closed the building a few years later.

Your new camera, qg?
Much sharper now, and the colour's perfect.
aye, I've changed the settings so pictures are looking a lot better. it's not as good in dull weather as my Lumix was. it's a swine for batteries though but with the better zoom beggars can't be choosers.Quote:

Anybody know why there are 2 dates on the clock tower of Liverpool Uni
the building is down in books as being built in 1887 but what does 1837 signify. I only noticed this while enlarging a part of a photo.

(Source: Joseph Sharples).
The "Annals of Liverpool" confirm it opened in 1892.
Victoria Buildings, Victoria College, The University, Brownlow Hill.
Opened 17 December 1892. Architect: Alfred Waterhouse.

Another example being the date on the gates of 'Park Lodge'..."AD 1207" commemorating the founding of Liverpool in that year and the establishment of the hunting lodge for Toxteth Park. The park was begun by King John although the lodge wasn't necessarily built in that year. Following photo by Kev as posted by him earlier in this thread. Thanks, Kev!Quote:

Also beware if a building says "Established ****", as this will most certainly refer to when the Institution or Firm (or whatever) was first created, probably in completely different premises.
A single date - like most of the above - is usually the building's date.
Isn't 50 a Golden anniversary?
yup it is. there were probably a lot of similar things done for her Golden Jubliee as well as her Diamond one (60 yrs). especially as she reigned for so long.Quote:

Good point, Philip, about any sign that says "Established...."Quote:

Actually I am a bit confused because there were coins issued in 1887 for Victoria's "Silver Jubilee" but that would have been her 50th year, whereas the current monarch celebrated hers in 1977, on 25 years. The year of Queen Victoria's Silver Jubilee seems to be variously stated:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...ver+Jubilee%22
sounds odd. they are called jubilee whatever the prefix. Silver jubliee, Golden jubliee, Diamond jubilee.
some may think of jubliee meaning silver (25) as it's the one they hear about most often.
Don't know about the coins, Chris, but I don't think there were celebrations for the 25th year of Victoria's reign, which would have been 1862.Quote:
