The view from Everton Park is great. It's within walking didtance from where I live. When there are fireworks displays on in town we go up there to look over. It's a good vantage point. We've seen some great displays from there.
I love the view of the Welsh hills on a clear day. :)

More quality architecture in town I wonder how many people never see things like this because they never look up?
Exactly Paul, look up towards the wonderous architecture in Liverpool.
Here's a variety of images I took last year...

This is a shop on Poulton Road, Wallasey. I took it as the corn sheaf emblem above the shop shutters really makes the building stand out amongst the rest!

An experimental shot of St Georges Hall at night, the detail of the building has come out suprisingly well!

Finally, Here is just a view of the lock up on Everton Ridge on a wet autumn day!
But do look up at the buildings in the city, and the surrounds. Wigan has some nice buildings as does Bootle and Preston too!
What an unusual shaped building!,does anyone know what it was used for originally & what its uses have been since.
a lock up for drunks?
That lock up is also on the Everton badge. Nuff said. :)

Martins Bank which went on to become Barclays Bank,some of Britains gold reserve was here during WW2 and the English Heritage open day gives you the chance to view this building.:celb (23):
...looks a lovely place :PDT_Piratz_26:
I remember when I was a kid putting sixpence a week in a place like this. Takes gaul eh? The manager wore a dark overcoat and a homburg hat, he waited outside of a night for his ride. Looked more like a villain. :unibrow:

A unique and slightly hidden structure on our waterfront - the 6 sided clock. I think there's only 2 of these in the world or something like that!
Hopefully if the docks around the clock are rejuvinated, the tower will be restored and given the TLC it truely deserves! It could be such a selling point for a unique dockside development
St. Andrew's Scotch Church, Rodney Street - Simply stuning. However, I couldn't take pics of the main part due to it being surrounded by nets and scafolding. This seriously needs restoration.
Before 1793 there was no place of worship for the many Presbyterians who had moved from Scotland to Liverpool. A small group led by Dr. John McCulloch raised enough money to build a kirk on Oldham Street. It was opened in the early summer of 1793 with seating for 820 people. On 6 March 1823 25 members of the congregation led by Dr. John McCulloch left over the appointment of the Reverend John Stewart by Mr. McIver over the Reverend Dr. David Thom. They agreed to build a new church and to offer it to the Reverend Dr. David Thom. He accepted and opened the Music Hall as a temporary chapel on 23 March 1823. On 17 June 1823 the foundation stone of the new church in Rodney Street was laid and it opened on 3 December 1824. The church was closed in 1975, but Sunday services continued in a suitable room in Liverpool Cathedral.
