I agree, though i'm afraid being listed guarantees nothing. The owners, council or otherwise should be answerable to somebody after a certain time.

Really good photies of yesteryear. Amazing when you walk down old streets and see the designs of warehouses etc, built over 100 years ago.
Great pic's Joe! I like all of the buildings on those corners, especially no'1,though I think it's empty?

You've captured my brother's birthplace on that last pic Joe. It was No.94 Seel Street in 1951 during a short foray away from the L3 area.

Alma de Cuba resturant and bar, the old St Peter`s church in Seel St. Built in 1788,it was given to the Polish community in 1976 and became Our Lady of Czestochowa but in 1978 it closed it`s doors.
It reopened as a resturant and bar with quite a lot of the old church still intact.

The doorman must sit here in the porch with his book on the old lectern.
It is very dark inside even with a couple of hundred candles lit around.
I used flash on only 2 pics
Fine photographs, Joe. Thanks.
Chris
Very nice pics GD.
Brill Joe.
Like these carvings,these are the sorta thing that can be carved on a CNC I'm putting together...not as elaborate as this one......

Great pic's Joe! My grandparents were married there,around 1901!:nod:
That's one fancy resturant - I'll put it on my list for our next visit. Nice pics.
Thanks for your comments folks,
I`ve passed there many times never been inside before, I was the only person in there at 2pm till 2 more people came in.
It was the winner of Best Resturant and Bar in 2008,2009,2010. Don`t know what the prices are, I only had a brandy but the staff were very friendly. I was offered a special coffee made in a glass with 4 different coloured portions to sample but I had to decline as I don`t like coffee .
The building is steeped in history see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Pet...rch,_Liverpool
here's one just for you CHRIS when I went to school( did actually,) school started at 0850 I used to get there at 0915 after i finished my milk round just to get my name taken by someone like Oudeis being a prefect) cos i was always late, would you belive it they made me in charge of ordering the milk from the milk man ( funny same bloke that delvered for our milk round he stated picking me up and bringing me to school) but what I was going to say all my life I have never then or even now been able to pronounce my "R's" alway's comes out W's so my teacher gave me thie to learn " The Raggerd, Rasca, Ran, Round the Ruggerd Rock" still hard for me to say even today but does bring back memoriesQuote:

St Peter`s Missionries of Charity in Seel St. People who have fallen on hard times can get some help there, Saw a funny thing whilst there, a man comes up and knocks at the door.
The door opens, a few words are said, then a parcel of sandwiches are passed out. The man walks away then proceeds to feed the birds with the food.

Great pic's Joe!
I was walking past that missionary building one day,and I heard a voice whispering"please help me"! A bit surprised,a woman,at one of those windows,then said "get me out of here,they're keeping me prisoner"! I stood there, thinking,it's some sort of religious building,so why would she be saying this,to a total stranger? Then a nun came to the door,and muttered something unintelligable,and shewed me away,saying "she needs help",before shutting the door!? I carried on,and forgot about it,but occasionally I wonder what was going on,and what happened to her?
Also,the "Alabama" is apparently,the most successful warship........ever!?
Shall I say it again....? Ok, "Excellent pics Joe". :handclap:Quote:

Union House designed by Alfred Shennan ,a Liverpool architect. in 1946. This was supposed to sit between Tower Street and Convent Garden replacing 3 buildings with some war damage, but it never got built
What a fine building. It would have looked great.
These are wonderful photos GD, again, THANK YOU

Very fine, Joe. The Carters memorial looks great, and I remember the Five Lamps from going to visit some friends of my family in Waterloo, when we got the bus to the Five Lamps.
Cheers

What I find strange about Gostins Building is the sandstone stonework arches at the front which seem to be a lot older than the rest of the building. Did they come from a building that stood there before it?
