Date Stones and signs around Liverpool

Fine photographs. Thanks, Taffy. :handclap:

Interesting Victorian office building in central Liverpool, built 1879.

Nice use of new 2007 plaque mounted in original surround featuring otters fishing. Let's hope Liverpool's itinerent building renovators don't use this as a source of raw materials, such as old stone paving slabs, as they did the original steps.

Adelaide Street/Edge Lane. There are several other date-stones on the buildings at the ends of these terraces. I don't normally see date-stones this close to the ground. This stone reads 'Oscar Lindop March 1892'
I know another date-stone with the name Lindop, in Smithdown Road (Lindop's Buildings A.D. 1905)

Regent Street. Another low-level date-stone. This reads 'This stone was laid by Mrs. L.H.Wright 4th April 1928'
