Looking at some of my old Xmas pics and realised how much better Church St looked in 2008 without the sheds and stalls, This year there is not much colour in the lights and I don`t remember any nativity scenes in the lights.It mustn`t be P C

Some old streets in Dingle, Elswick is the street that appeared in the opening clip of the T V show "Bread"
Excellent views, Joe. I love those sloping streets and the view of the Mersey in the distance. :handclap:
Cheers

Great those Joe. My wife's nan lived in Netherby street, another of those, in fact her dad was born there. They're pretty steep, you need a good handbrake and you can hear the trains rumbling underneath the house. Great view over the river from the bottom though.
Thought it would be worth "quoting" these fine pics to bring em' to the front again. :PDT_Piratz_26:Quote:

My aunt and uncle lived in South Hill Rd for many years,their house was right at the bottom end of the road with a garden and funnily enough their son Raymond Unsworth was in the merchant navy with Blue Funnel Line perhaps he got in the back of your cab at one time! He brought great presents home from his many trips visiting that little house down the 'south end" as my mother used to call it was a real treat.Quote:

The "Florrie" restoration coming along well

Side view of the "Florrie"
Who would have thought grass would surround the Florence Institute, we could have a thread on the greening of Liverpool. I know it takes time to get these restoration projects underway but a bit off grass does soften the often desolate feel while the work goes on.

Great pic's Joe! Always wondered about the terrace in front of those houses in Corn st.,and why they were built like that?
Great pictures Joe

Perhaps to get a cheaper basement? Less digging deep... or a high water table...Quote:

This is from the other end, from 2 years ago
I can see the reason for the terracing,but when you consider the steepness of the streets in Netherfield rd,etc? Is it just a different technique?

A view from Sandhills Station,football pitches cover some old streets,Aspinall.Rockingham,Flinders and Lathom St. The white building is the old Grosvenor cinema now a Funeral Directors,alongside is the old U A B(Social security) building.

Red brick building on the left is the old British American tobacco factory now apartments,the heights on Netherfield look as if they are having a makeover.
Whenever I stand on Sandhills station my mind always wanders back to my childhood days as we never travelled more than 2 miles from the area till we started working.
Good pics as per usual GD. :handclap:
