Great selection again, Gerard.

I'm interested in the street sign on picture 3.
It's one of the original, oldest types with serifs on the letters, which stopped being used in the 19th century.
They're usually to be seen on the oldest buildings in Liverpool.
They're getting rarer as they get replaced, or the original buildings that they're on get demolished.
This is the only one I've noticed that looks like it's been saved and put on a newer building.

Great pics as always Gerard, despite so many students crying poverty I see there are lots of nice cars there!

Thanks, Gerard.

It makes it clearer for people to spot the original type of lettering.
I've started snapping them when I see them, and the buildings that they're on.

Thank you as well chippie me boy..:PDT11

Oooooohhhh..dont start me over Gerard Gardens..

Great pics Gerard. I visited the Bully last year to shoot a piece to camera for Gardens of Stone. The landings seemed to be much narrower than I remembered, you can see where the metal support for the washing lines has been removed.

Maybe us ex tenny residents should go to the Bully and hang some washing out in memory of our old Ma :)

Which was a better idea than the poor people of Wolfe street had to contend with.

Pic from LRO.

Two 1990 Kirkdale shots just prior to demolition,Smith st one taken in 2003.

Lambeth Walk, Rollo St and Smith st.

50s and 60s flats page of my site has just been updated with some from Anfield, Cabbage Hall, Tuebrook, Kirkdale, Orrell Park etc...(past and current)
