That's true Spike, just look at the fantastic organising skills of commemorating the 70th Anniversary of the Blackstock St bombing - not.....
Still, it shouldn't take a person removed from the localised area to start the ball rolling should it?
Perhaps they've something lined up in the Silvestrian or Eldonian clubs - or a summer street party ala Silver Jubilee style in 77.
I thought I remembered seeing the Eldon Grove Labourers' Dwellings on some official list of Grade II-listed buildings... I don't think it was just lamp-posts that were being referred to! I've only just realised that's the full name of the housing scheme we're talking about on this Thread... But I suppose I must be mistaken, if there's talk of demolishing them?Quote:

Summer Seat in the Heat.
Or not if June in Liverpool is anything to go by.

It's a name that fascinates me because Summer Seat makes you think of some rural idyllic setting surrounded by flowering shrubs and singing birds ! ha! :)Quote:

Im sure the area was some posh garden where the snobs went way back when. Long before the houses came.
Do you think the name comes from Springfield ?
It's true. I've read that the steep hill of Everton and down into Kirkdale, and heading across towards Bootle was a place where the upper classes would walk to take in the fresh sea air and admire the views over the river. The area was a kind of rural retreat in days gone by.Quote:

Spot on Lindy! Ken Dodd even predicted it would be burnt down - because he knew that property developers were interested... And so it came to pass... And there are so many other examples...Quote:

So, who reclaimed it for the 'labouring classes'? It does look a bit like the Port Sunlight housing erected by Lord Leverhulme for his soap workers. But who would be the enlightened philanthropist in this instance? -- I see there was a bottle factory nearby (Shades of Beryl Bainbridge?) ... but would that have been important enough to have had the funding for such a venture?... Anyone know?Quote:
