The wall on the left of the picture was were an emergency water supply tank was during the second world war. Liverpool had quite a few of these dotted around the city. I haven`t noticed any old pics of these E W S tanks anywhere.

more....there is one pic I have yet to come across and thats a pic of the flower bed clock in Stanley Park...remember it was a working clock as well.

Clayton Square,County Road,BandStand Stanley Park,Robson Street,St Domingo Road,Scotland Road,Breck Road,PierHead,London Road and LimeStreetWest Derby road by Brouham Terrace.

Brilliant pics, George :)

Wonder what building that London Rd/Lime St pic was taken at that height and so close?

Great pic's George,but I can't get my bearings on the Lime st. one! Any clues?

The pub on the corner was the "Legs of man" pub,to the left of the pic is Commutation Row.

What's the stadium at the back of the lime st photo ?

Ain't got a clue? I'm sure Lime Street train stations Paraphet extended to where that sloping roof was? this was about 1910/1920? as the corner of commutation row lost two buildings there during the war years.

Just took a nosey on Geds site and he has this pic but smaller than I've posted it and it musta been taken on the st georges column that has now gone and replaced with the water fountain.

Great photos, George.
The Lime Street one (showing London Road) must have been taken from the Wellington Column.
The Stadium was called just that.
Built about 1911 as a skating rink, it became a boxing stadium a few years later.
It was replaced by the Paramount/Odeon cinema on that site (1934) and by Britain's only purpose-built boxing stadium in St Paul's Square (1932).

Problem solved! Thanks Quentin,never heard about that stadium,though,unless the name was confused with the other one!?

Try Spikes site for a few here:
http://liverpoolremembrance.weebly.c...-photos-3.html

here is the Stanley Park clock

George, that 2nd picture - County rd - I can't recognise at all, yet I know County rd well. I can't make out where the road and pavement curves around like where the people are walking.
Could do with a then & now comparison.

edit.

false alarm :) I think I can make it out now. I've recognised that turret over by Arnot st ! :)

I couldn't make out which direction we were looking from.

Then you don't know county road well enough then :-) County DIY you know the road at the traffic lights,see the stone bus stop? well thats where Tesco's(AkA Sommerfields) is,the clock hanging on the wall is the funeral parlour.

yes, I know now :) opposite the library.

Is that Hale Road off to the right?

Lol,well the sign says Manchester so therefore the pic musta been taken towards walton road way. :)

When looking at old pics observe specific landmarks that you might recognise that are still evident today

StAnne Street...
