Re: University/College, Brownlow Hill
I messed my earlier post up. Anyway, there are two information stones on the Brownlow Hill side.
One says University College opened 1892. The other states...the Engineering Laboratories were erected "in the Jubilee year 1887"
I'll transcribe them when I get time.

Vale Park on the Wirral
This building was once the church school. Now it's the St John's church hall
Stone laid by Mrs Joseph Rawlinson. The Rawlinson family had extensive saw mill interests in Garston
Rather nice Arts and Crafts design for the church hall sign. Hall in Dundonald Rd, Aigburth.
Excellent work here, gregs dad and taffy!

Everton Library, St Domingo Rd
Great photograph, gregs dad. I have always thought the Everton Library is one of Liverpool's architectural treasures. :handclap:
Thanks Chris and the pub on the next corner isn`t bad eitherhttp://farm3.static.flickr.com/2260/...7c8fee98_o.jpg
Great pics Taffy, Quincy and GD - well done.
I hope these two buildings continue to survive. Interestingly, there's a tower block of flats in Sefton Park with the same name as the pub, Mere Bank. The pub is named after the early 19th C Everton estate of Charles Horsfall which itself took its name after the small pond ( mere) that was once at the bottom of Mere Lane, Everton. The Sefton Park tower block took its name from a demolished Sefton Park mansion built by the grandson of Charles Horsfall. This was one Douglas Horsfall who built a number of churches in Liverpool including St Agnes, Ullet Rd.Quote:

Corn Exchange date-stone (and plaque). Fenwick Street. I've just noticed the date, and this site (though not the current building) will be 200 years old this year (August 4th, I've read somewhere).

Not very elaborate,I know,but this is on the back of my house!:unibrow:
Unfortunately there is no date...

Original 1847 date stone from Holy Trinity Church Walton Breck and new 2008 one in the same style for the crypt renovation project. Unfortunately the 2008 date stone has the AD in the wrong place. It should of course have been AD 2008
By the way, did you know that this was "Square Deals" motorcycle accessories shop in the 60s and obviously converted back into a house.Quote:
