Great pics, even I don't remember when Liverpool looked like that and I'm probably the oldest old fart here, even older than Bobbymac.:celb (23):

Yes, its still there, the front of the house has been sympathetically spruced up. However, it is now part of a pub.

I can't belive Max hasn't photographed it yet!

Think I've seen that, is it near the Coffee House Kev?

At one time I photograped all of Wavertree, but some wern't so good so going to do some updates.

Plus some building work is getting done around high street.

Its on the same side as The Town Hall between two pubs.

Next to the Cock and Bottle?

Found this in my collection of unuploaded photos.

It's just to the right of that last pic.
The mounting steps are opposite the church next to the Bluecoat.
I was confused by the Aigburth Vale pic. it is actually Aigburth Road, Aigburth Vale would be to the right of the pic. All is clear now Ta.

Great pics, have them copied, such memories, and yes Shy, you do have more memories than me, Lol.
One thing tho. Lark Lane should read 'Larkhill Lane.
There's always some a**hole picking holes.:Colorz_Grey_PDT_16:

Six feet wide, 14 feet deep with 2 rooms now incorporated into the Cock and Bottle Pub, Wavertree.

Interesting photos. Sorry if this link has already been mentioned. It's the Council's online photo archive. Type "jpg" in the Any text search box and it will bring up all the photos.

Mounting Steps - Wavertree (1700s?)

That Liverpool site is fantastic, the only problem I found was that the link to enlarge them doesn't work.

Liverpool in the 1980s.
I'm a fan of Nancy's photos. She studied for a year in Liverpool in the early 80s, before returning to the US. She certainly got around! In my opinion they are the best set of 1980s Liverpool photos to be found anywhere on the internet. They are THAT good!:shock:

Excellent photos those :PDT_Piratz_26:

I have commented on a couple of her photos, one of a very young Farm and the photo of the People's Festival

Here's a question about the Dingle Knot Hole: It looks very much like the outcrop of rock that is currently opposite the old Garden Festival site. There is a roundabout there and the Riverside Drive runs past too. Just to the left would be the Britania Pub. Its almost like its taken from the Garden Festival itself by the old dome.

Many of these photos often attached to thin card were reference prints not actual prints and were used by the City Engineers Photographic unit (later Reprographic Section) to show to customers.

Many of them were quick contact prints from the glass plates and some were so old that we mounted them on card and then filed them. The scruffy handwriting seen on some of them is mine.

When the section was closed the 200,000 strong photo archive with photos from 1890s to nearly the 1990s and with negatives ranging from glass plates to more modern negatives and of all sizes was passed on to the Library.

Often these are reproduced and sold on. The original glass plates although deteriorating produced prints of a far higher quality.

Thanks for the info Motorhemp

Huskisson St, 1960s?

Even though it's now part of the pub, are they still separate rooms.

6 feet wide!

Perfect for most of ya and you have a pub next door.:PDT_Aliboronz_24:

fascinating pics. Thanks for posting Kev.

I can remember walking through this beast when I was little.

Hi guys!
New to this forum, so thought I'd start by posting a link on here to an excellent set of photos, taken by a young lady who lives in Seattle. I believe she lived in Lpool only for a year during the 80's, but captured our city wonderfully & just how I remember it, growing up as a child. Have a gander..!

Welcome.
Love your avatar.
Yes, they're great photos.
She's still very interested in Liverpool.
Kev, how about inviting her to join us?

Welcome to the forum.
I agree with Philip - your avator is a good one. :)

Cheers guys - took the pic myself.
Great site is this, I look forward to many more posts..!

I already have done when commenting on her pics, maybe a pm will do it.

I commented on number of her photos and PM ed her she never got back, it was the picture of the peoples festival held in Lime Street, and the other was of a very young FARM.

Wow, people are talking about me? I'm flattered! To be honest, I did join the forum awhile back, but got distracted, forgot my login, but here I am.

I'm not quite sure how to upload photos to a thread (I want to embed them in the message, but do I need to link to a url to do that?), but i'll give it a try. Here's a picture from the spring of '87, I was working in London at the time but went up to Liverpool for a weekend to show a friend around who had never been. And instead of hitting the tourist hotspots (cathedrals, Albert Dock), I decide we should walk up to Stanley Dock along the sea wall. Nice introduction to the city, I figured.

Welcome, there are a number of people who have mentioned your photos on this forum and I think will be pleased to hear from you.
I was around Liverpool at the time, and was at a number of the gigs, Peoples Festival, early farm gigs and have commented on a number of your picture, see an earlier posting on this thread.
Do you have any pictures of The High Five, who played the People Festival and a number of gigs with the farm, bunnymen, teardrops, in fact their drummer was the original drummer from WAH Rob Jones?

Regards John

Welcome, Nancy.

I love your pictures on Flickr.
I was busy taking photos of the old cinema buildings in the 1980s, but I did take other photos.
I still need a new scanner, because I have quite a lot I could post.

Nancy O, so glad to have you here at last, a warm welcome from me to you, hope you stay around for a while :celb (23):Here's how to share your Flickr pics:

Click on your picture you want to share. Then follow the instructions on the screen grabs.

http://static.flickr.com/86/224646146_471b2cec41.jpg
:)
http://static.flickr.com/76/224646080_1286b6ccd7.jpg
:)

Its important that you go back to the original page as shown in picture 1. Flickr's terms and conditions state that you must link back to its photo page.

http://static.flickr.com/96/224646236_8524c3e886.jpg

Read instruction 5 then 6 in order, they are both on the following picture...

http://static.flickr.com/85/224646398_06144d91b7.jpg

Click on ok and preview the post to be sure the image appears and it links back to its Flickr page :):PDT_Aliboronz_24:

Thanks Kev, I figured it was something like that! So I'll give it another go, here's a photo I recently tried printing by myself in a darkroom class and is a little better than the faded, washed-out image in my Liverpool set (some of you may have seen this in my photostream already). If I ever get enough darkroom time I'd like to do a proper set of prints.

And John, sorry no photos of the High Five, though I do remember seeing them a couple of times.
