I covered every angle of building but business or property is NOT FOR SALE :D:D:D
The business may not be for sale, but your photos certainly should be!
Your photos are getting better all the time, and of the three 'Rocket Ronnie's' photos, the first one is my favourite.
It was good to see your photos in The Globe again this week.
Keep it up!
Good luck Kebabman, your pictures are always very nice.
Taking photos of this building was PhilipG's request when we met for QE2 ..It was very wet early morning so that we never stop for this building..
I am glad you like my photos.
Thank you very much, Kebabman.Quote:

Both sides of King St was getting knocked down,as well as great portion of Rice Lane as well..
After all projects has publised and been asked opinion of residents but result has never been published..
As far as I know councel is searching for finance but size of a project like this would be expensive and return would be very slow so that it would be very difficult to find a finance...
IMO this project will never turn into reality.
thanks for the info, kebabman, typical of the people in charge, promise the earth then deliver zilch.
Excellent work once again, Kebabman. Congratulations on getting your photos on the calendar. :handclap:
Chris
Loving everyones images at the moment! Very high quality indeed! The images from around New Brighton and Egremont were great! Thinking about King Street, as far as I am aware, there are plans to pull down the derelict building on the corner of St Brides Road to make way for flats as well as the demolition of Royston and Woodhall Aves. Wirral Council and "regeneration" are a mood point with me, especially where Tranmere's Church Road is concerned!
Apologies for not being around recently, computers aren't my best friends at the moment!
I went walkies last week around Bromborough, a few interesting discoveries...
http://img264.imageshack.us/img264/1...0924037qw1.jpg

Thermal Road, Bromborough This was a rather interesting find! Now I dont know about you guys but I never knew there was a "Merseyside Powerplant" especially such a building down in Bromborough. I am loving the art deco gates and is something which I hope will be preserved if and when this now cleared land is re-developed. Depending on which direction the wind blows, this area normally has the smell of Cheerio's clinging to everything as the factory is immediately opposite to where I was standing.
http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/4...0924044sv1.jpg
South View, Bromborough This is the newest part of "Prices Village" which was first laid out during the mid 1800's making the village the second oldest Purpose Built Industrial Village in the world. These houses were built in 1909. The area was created by Prices Patent Candle company who re-located from London in order to maximise production and gain entry to the Atlantic Markets.
http://img516.imageshack.us/img516/5...0924046rs9.jpg
The Green, Bromborough At some point, the company also built a school as well as a church and a village hall. Sadly, Port Cities (who I am using as a reference) don't have a date as to when Pool Primary was built. I like the sandstone blocks which have been used to construct the building, it rather stuck out as practically all other buildings were build out of brick. Wirral Council have tried to close this school to which nothing ever materialised. I did notice, however, Dell Primary in New Ferry has now gone. Oh dear!
http://img444.imageshack.us/img444/4...0924064th0.jpg
Manor Place, Bromborough These were built in 1856 and have a rather London-esque feel about them what with the brown brick. Something which I only just noticed, don't these houses have rather large chimneys?
Moving up the Wirral into Rock Ferry, I now wish to do a small Then and Now series using some images from my Flickr Account...

Canterbury Road, Feb 2007 Properties awaiting demolition
http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/8...0924084iy9.jpg
Canterbury Road, Oct 2007 The whole terrace has now gone with Semi's further down toward New Chester Road awaiting the bulldozer.
http://farm1.static.flickr.com/184/4...0e9ee460_o.jpg
Railway Road. Feb 2007 The old Cast Iron nameplate stands in situ whilst its old neighborhood awaits to be wiped from the map.
http://img229.imageshack.us/img229/1...0924083ej2.jpg
Railway Road, Oct 2007 Cleared land now lies where the terrace above used to be, what ever became of the nameplate I wonder?
http://farm1.static.flickr.com/162/4...d8133cb0_o.jpg
Medway Road, Feb 2007 Some rather respectable terraced houses stand derelict in this scene. As far as housing goes, these didn't look all that bad on the outside however, we don't know what the conditions were like inside. I like the brickwork on these with the yellow and orange ribboning running around the doors and windows as well as the area between each one. It is a shame one of the properties was pebble- dashed as it does spoil the streetscene in my view.
http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/1...0924092bh1.jpg
Medway Road, Oct 2007 No need to worry about pebble-dashed houses here as practically the whole street has been cleared.
I think this will do! been rather busy behind the scenes!
I have noticed the lack of updates regarding my Flickr account recently, I will endevour to pick this up again!
Hi Wallasey welcome back, haven,t seen you for awhile. Smashing photos just a shame about those houses being pulled down. Reminds me of the 70s when our district came down in Everton.:034:
Why thank you Chippy! My internet and comp have been up the duff recently so its all been a bit disruptive!
It is very sad to see this area of Wirral disappear, one hopes that what replaces them wont themselves have to be replaced in 20 or 30 years time.
I,d like to think that too mate but time and time again, throughout Britain not just Merseyside, I,ve seen such paltry buildings replacing what had been around for over a hundred years.
Even some of the new stuff that is being built in Liverpool city centre by the Duck of Westminster doesn,t look like it will see my life out and I,m well on the way.
Nobody nowadays seems to build to last anymore just to get over the present crisis and leave the future crisis, to the future people. I particulary refer to the rubbish schools and hospitals and libraries that I have seen over the last fifteen years in my travels. They appear to be sheds or hangers that as soon as the rain starts will get rustier and rustier by the day.
I feel sorry for the kids growing up today because they will have to foot the bill again for the rubbish that we are paying for today.
R.I.P Britain I see you dying a slow and painful death.:shock:
I bought this print when the Boydell Gallery on Castle Street closed down, but I was "Done".
It says it's the Coffee House in High Park (Toxteth), and says it's a W G Herdman print of 1878.
As it happens, it's Tranmere Old Hall in Birkenhead, so I don't know if the date can be relied upon, but it does look like Herdman's work.
I'll leave it to Wallasey to make some notes about the building, because I hadn't heard of it, until I saw a picture in a book, and recognised the building in my print.
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2224/...964edf86_o.jpg
.
Fine photographs, Kebabman, once again. And thank you to PhilipG and TonyS for the pics of Tranmere Old Hall and the Coffee House in High Park (Toxteth), and the information about Tranmere Old Hall.
Chris
Thank you, TonyS.
That's a bit spooky, because my name is Mayer!
(It's quite rare in Merseyside.)
What does the caption for the High Park Coffee House say?
It looks like the Peacock to me, which wasn't the Coffee House, but was almost next door.
It's always been confusing to sort out the old pubs of Park Road, because the original Pineapple was also called (by mistake?) the Coffee House.
.
Thanks, Tony.
Did you type all that out for me?
It's much appreciated.
It's apparent the writer didn't know much about the Peacock.
I'm inclining towards the belief that the High Park Coffee House was the other pub (the High Park) seen on the map.
The licensees for years had the same name as that Keeper of the Park that was mentioned (Ellis, I think, but I'll have to check my notes).
I'm not sure if I've seen the Baines view.
You got away with it..I am not winner ,a baby face in the bath picture was winner..Globe says my photo was runner up.Quote:

Kebabman.
Children and animals!
It's a losing game trying to compete.
Congratulations, anyway.
Here's where the little dears go.
New Brighton Primary School.
It's 100 years old next year.

Great pics as usual Kebabman.:handclap:
Kebabman.
More great photos. Well done!
Your shop's getting more and more like an art gallery mate. The photos look fantastic as large prints.
Keep up the good work mate.
A few views from Wallasey and Birkenhead...
http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/f...7-11-10017.jpg
Deveraux Drive, Somerville This leads up to Central Park from Poulton Road with various streets running off to the right and one gated jigger which cuts through to Annesley Road.
http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/f...7-11-10033.jpg
Silverbeech Road, Somerville Elegant Edwardian housing can be seen here overlooking Central Park.
http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/f...7-11-10058.jpg
Poulton Road, Seacombe A small row of shops which now have the privilege of overlooking a Tesco Metro, weather this will kill off this already decimated part of Wallasey is yet to be seen.
http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/f...7-11-10060.jpg
Borough Road, Seacombe The sign reads "BOROUGH ROAD LATE VICTORIA ROAD" Only this rusty sign remembers the days when Borough Road, Seacombe, was known as Victoria Road. The reason why the name changed is something to do with their being two Victoria Road's in the Wallasey area (the other being in New Brighton). Apologies for the slant, I had a group of berly men looking at me at time, requiring a quick getaway!
http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/f...7-11-10067.jpg
Jigger Edith Road-Florence Road, Seacombe One of few jiggers that are yet to be gated. This one in particular forms an easy cut-through from Brougham Road to Florence Road whilst crossing over three streets. Not only does this save time if wanting to access Borough Road and its amenities, but also allows quick access to Brougham Road for the 403 bus to Wallasey Village!
http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/f...7-12-01005.jpg
Grange Road West, Birkenhead Now a somewhat quiet shopping street on the fringe of Birkenhead Town Centre, this used to be a little more lively on a saturday. Some older folk, still start their weekly or daily shop on Grange Road West and work their way down to the Market/Bus Station
http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/f...7-12-01006.jpg
Westbourne Road, Birkenhead A somewhat eclectic mix of housing here, the sudden change in size and style can only mean one thing around here, your entering Oxton :noid: !
http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/f...7-12-01007.jpg
Westbourne Road, Birkenhead Especially for those advert enthusiasts, try this one for size! It reads "Weeks and Sons...Sunblind Manufacturers...Tel Cla 5589". I would imagine "Cla" refers to Claughton, which lies on the other side of Birkenhead Park.
http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/f...7-12-01009.jpg
Balls Road, Birkenhead This building used to elegantly curve around the corner into Ridley Street. Now, the remaining unit, is being demolished after a gap of a few years or so.
http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/f...7-12-01011.jpg
Balls Road, Birkenhead A side view of the partially demolished building, I was somwhat shocked to see that some one could even contemplate demolishing such a beautiful piece of domestic architecture! One hopes that the land wont be left lain derelict for the next 10 years or so.
http://farm1.static.flickr.com/244/4...266b325c_o.jpg
Balls Road, Birkenhead This view from here shows the building back in March 07.
Good work once again, Wallasey. A fine set of photographs! :handclap:
Best regards
Chris
Nice photograph's,well done Wallasey :PDT_Aliboronz_11:
