George, I think I have everything on Richmond Row and Soho street already on my site. Don't forget the pre 1945 pics will be on a different page than those afterwards. Whitechapel, i'll look out for and of course the War Memorials for Spike.

OK Ged I'll be 'cheeky'! Around about the 1953/55 years the Wellington Rd Territorial Barracks changed it's name to Chavasse Barracks, due to it then being occupied by a TA Medical Unit. I know the local papers had a photographer attending, and photos were taken both outside and inside the Barracks. Ceremony was conducted by the Bishop of Rochester who was related to Capt Noel Chavasse. I was present at this ceremony and would love to see any pics of the event. May be some at the Records Office but maybe not.Quote:

Ged, Do u have many old railway station pics on ur site ?
I had a quick look yesterday, but haven't a clue where to look for them lol
Smurfy, because there is already a cracking disused railway stations site that you all know about, i've left a speciality subject like that to those that know but Sirob has kindly let me use some of pics from his 'unseen Liverpool' thread on here which feature the subject - they're on the 'Streets ahead page 1'.
Ta, I know I've looked at the disused railway site but there's plenty of stations on there with very few old pics. I'll check it again and also that page on ur site :)
came across this site a coupleofnights ago,Ged
Says the photies are from a private collection.

I've seen at least 3 of these doing the rounds. Nice site though.Quote:

Yep, the Overhead Railway. It was closed because it was not making a profit. In fact it was as it created economic growth. There was no mechanism to channel the economic growth back into the railway to keep it running. There still isn't one in place for railways.Quote:

Well a I don't have an Anorak, I wouldn't know the difference between trains as they look the same at both ends to me.
If I was stuck out in the wilds I wouldn't know if they were coming or going. :rolleyes:
Sorry, I meant the stations. Even I'm not a train spotter, stations do bring a smile to me face though
U've probably seen this pic before, but since u gave me a link to LOR stuff, I'll post this

Thanks Ged! I do remember the pics in one of the papers ,but not sure if it was the Echo, Daily Post, or may have been a Sunday paper.
15 stills I accquired from various NW films archives just gone on the bottom of this page of my site:

More to follow, but for now include some old emergency vehicles, passengers coming off the upper floor of the ferry on the raised gangway (mentioned on another thread on here) and this one below of St. Johns beacon under construction.

The foundation stone is laid in Edge Lane to the new tram works (later adapted to bus works) This done by the Lord Mayor, Councillor Bowring (of Bowring Park and Bowring Park Road fame) - 1926.

Dixie Deans Everton parade the cup along Lime st in 1933, driven by the same stagecoach driver who did it for them in 1906. 1933 saw the first numbers on their backs, Everton 1-11 and Man City 12-22. Everton won 3-0.

Something that unusually didn't take off was the mail service using trams as mobile post boxes.

It would seem that the tenements concept is still alive and kicking - 21st Century style with this new 'Central Gardens' development in the city centre.

They've even borrowed the colour coded front door idea for each landing as with the bullring.

I think I prefare the old ones Ged! Those new one remind me of the old 'victorian blocks' that were in Mill Street (L,pool 8) many years ago. But thanks for the photos;'
Looks like the inside of a prison lol.
I guess it's doesn't really matter what it looks like, as long as they're decent enough. Do u think they'll ever have the community spirt of the old places ?
The Albany has an interior similar to this, very much like the inside of the Seaman's mission which Colin Wilkinson posted up. Yes, it is like a prison and very claustrophobic. With no central void or square as we called it to play in, and probably nobody seeing much of it each other because of it, I doubt the old community spirit will reappear here or anywhere else shortly but that's probably just a sign of the times too.
Agree with this last bit. It's the Queens Diamond Jubilee in 2012 and I can't image us having street parties like those in the pics I posted from 1977. It's a shame but I can't really say much coz I never talk to my neighbours other than to say helloQuote:
