The couple of pints that Joe had before he took the picture didn't help either. :PDT_Aliboronz_24:Quote:

Demolition of the corner of William Henry St and Netherfield Road
They've left that facade up for years now. Notice the porta cabin type conservatory too.

I usually start at midnight and read through for hours, you cannot stop once you start can you?!!Quote:

A somewhat hidden building. Clocktower House in Truemnan Court is situated on Trueman Street and viewed generally through and archway until you realise you can access it by a car park that is on the site of the old Whitbreads Brewery. In fact all that side of the road, and that opposite side now occupied by the Henry Cotton JMU building was part of Whitbreads and threlfalls before that so I expect this building was too.

Sudley House built for Nicholas Robinson,lord mayor of Liverpool 1928-29, around 1810.
It was then sold it to George Holt,member of the Holt family, of the Lambert and Holt firm who ran the Blue funnel line in Liverpool. He made many alterations to the house like reversing the entrance.
It is owned by Liverpool museums now
Craftsmanship at its best...show me a Craftsman today and I'll show you father xmas.

These old buildings are all on Henry Street, must have been a hive of industry judging by the number of warehouses, Mostly converted to flats now
Excellent set of pics GD :handclap:
Would love to take a look in some of these places.
I think that the white building on the left in the first picture was a gun club,with a shooting range.
The buildings on Henry Street were the first examples of merchants living and working at home (living above the shop).
This area was also the first example of a property boom, whereby there was a premium attached to the land and properties that were nearest to the first central docks. Hence, why a lot where built quite tall for the time.
The merchants house which is now the Greek Taverna in the photo above dates from around 1780 I think and is a listed builing too.
Great Pic's Ged!
In my opinion All these biuldings should be Listed (at least Grade 2), then (maybe) something could be done to breath some Fresh Life into them!:034:
