Good shots Aureol . Lime street is just not the same anymore, everything all units, except the odd steam special like the Duke of Gloucester on the 8th, of march .
Great stuff, Merseywail! Are we going to have a railway pics war?????
It's really great to see what comes out of the woodwork.
How about Breckside Park Corpi yard in 1972;
A small steam crane (now preserved)
The remains of ex-Mersey Railway "Cecil Raikes"
New Brighton Pier in May 1976
St. Andrews Kirk, Rodney Street in August 1975
Moorfields, towards Exchange Station, April 1977
Love the pics, especially the one with the Mini Clubman in!

Outstanding content we all agree

Some shots of the merseyside electrics. a neglected subject. The first is a Lancashire & yorkshire train at sandhills, or is it seaforth, anyone know? Southport is the next location & shows a L&Y ''overhead'' train on its way to Crossens in 1938. these trains were a lightweight stock, & were used to run trains from Southport to Dingle, via the overhead rly. Southport st lukes is next, & shows an LMS built ''br class 502'' train also going to Crossens in 1953. A 502 train again this time at Birkdale in 1953. And last is a mersey railway train at park station in 1935.
Well, thanks for all your kind comments, which makes the mammoth task of digitising and restoring, worthwhile. I have a vast archive, so Ged will not be disappointed. I started Unseen Liverpool as a means to share the many unusual pics that I had taken. Some are just like the documentary "Morning in the Streets", others where it was not worth a pic, - until it was gone! I'm posting them all mixed up, so you don't know what is coming next!
ENJOY!!!!!!

Note; the swings were featured in a 1959 pic, on this thread.
They're all great photos.
Sometimes I used to take the lift to the top of a high-rise, just to enjoy the view.
But I never took photos!
Brilliant pics yet again
Thanx again for sharing such gems.:PDT_Piratz_26:
wonderful :handclap:
any more of Wavertree Rd area?
Thanks for taking the time to share these smashing photos. :handclap:
Some more old buses. with the new st johns shoping centre & hotel, in the background, is a bus on the short lived city circle route. Next is a ribble at old haymarket. Another ribble, just past new strand. Next is Crosby rd/ St johns rd waterloo, and last a corpy bus on Green lane.
Brilliant pics once again
Shame the bus wasn't a No 10 leaving Green Lane as my mum could of been the conductress on that very bus???
Love the second picture with the old green canteen wagon in the background
Many thanks, i will have to look out for the no 10. Has anyone spotted the elephant man on the top deck of the 67?? Posting these pics has made me realise how disorganised my collection is. I really must spend some time sorting things out.:022:Quote:

Thanx again for posting such rare pics,they are well appreciated:handclap::PDT_Aliboronz_24:
Thanks, but i have had to post my last. I never would have thought there would have been that much interest in them.
Fab pics merseywail. I would say, 'keep 'em coming', if you can acknowledge the source. If not then just put 'source unknown'.Quote:

I disagree Phil. If we all did that, then half of the photo's around the world would never see the light of day. Perhaps adding a 'Source Unknown' and then additional information (or Kev, have something for the whole site).Quote:
