Open day at St George's Hall..Wed 25th April 2007.
fantastic photos Gerard :handclap: :handclap: :handclap:
Brilliant photos what a fantastic building
Yeah custy Gerard. They're pumping those smells into the cells to give them autheni..authencit...aut - to make them seem realistic.
Cos my dad was the foreman there, I got to see all those places when they were out of bounds. There's a great concert room too and I went in the space above it where the chandallier workings are, and up on the roof where there's a WWII siren and of course the flagpole.
The bowels of the place are scary too, the old (and very cold) doctors room and the van passage. A great building.
Great pics Gerard. That suit hanging up, didn't you have that on in the Warden on Saturday ?

Fantistic pics Sir!! :PDT11
Them pics bring back so many memorys! When i was a kid my grandad was a caretaker at St Gearge's Hall i dont know how long he worked ther for but it was as long as i can remember but that place was my play area we used to explore from top to bottom. I use to play in them cells although they have changed alot now looking at them pics i always remember reading all the names carved in the cell walls. I even went so far down there was a small stream of running water at the bottom of building. Me and me mate use to play in the courtroom and ive got pics of me sitting on that green chair. Sadly my grandad died and because he loved his job so much he was buried in his caretaker uniform. Thanks for the pics Gerard brought back some good memories.

Do it Max, you won't be disappointed.
I'll be relaxed when using the camera thats for sure.
Picture taking relaxes my head.:PDT_Aliboronz_24:
Took 394 pics today!:eek:
Had to make sure they're good.:PDT_Aliboronz_24:
Going to American Pizza Slice on Whitechapel afterwards though was worth It.
Got a ham and pineapple pizza slice with garlic bread with cheese on and a coke.:PDT_Aliboronz_24:
I was hungry after all the picture taking and neck bending which was tiring.:eek:
Did you go to St George's Hall, Max?
I didn't see you there.
I went up to somebody and said "Excuse me, if I say yoliverpool to you, what would you say?"
He didn't know what I was talking about, but he's promised to look at the site.
I was there between 10:40 and 1:00pm.
I noticed alot of blood stains on the Steps outside St Georges Hall too!
My neck got tired when aiming my camera at the ceiling.:(
I was there this afternoon.Quote:

sorry about the photo I was on the bus:)
Maybe It had something to do with the blood stains on the steps.
Alot of drunks walk around those steps at night.
Heard nothing at all Mandy..
I came up to visit the hall on 28th April, beautiful visit. I,m not a stranger to the hall. In the past I,ve seen the cellar part and the concert room; I,ve even been inside the organ for a quick butchers. Thoroughly enjoyed my visit with some friends who were suitably impressed. Every time I see a camera in Liverpool I want to ask, Yo Liverpool.:rolleyes:
Ask away, you'll only either get a YO or a funny look. You might alert someone who's been missing out.
I often see someone taking a photo and I wonder if it's one of our members.
:)
perhaps we could wear badges or something. What do you think KEV:rolleyes:
There were teeshirts for sale on the original forum wasn't there Kev?
I would rather wear a badge :)
Why you shout my name and roll your eyes? :PDT10Quote:
