Review of 'In A City Living 3' in Daily Post 6 Jan.

There will be a special feature in tomorrows (6 Jan) edition of The Daily Post, on Ged Fagan's In A City Living book. Part 3 of his inner city trilogy, it covers the tenements in areas such as Wavertree, Toxteth, Speke and Garston. Ged has also made a scale model of Gerard Gardens where he grew up.

Nice one. Hopefully there'll be a DP online feature too. I'll keep an eye out:PDT_Piratz_26:

Off to work in a Mo, will pick a copy up. its a great book

Thanks for the alert Paul, any excuse to get 'another' bad pic of me on the web - that should answer your question Kev. Thank you all for your support with the books, I haven't even seen the article myself yet, I was taxi-ing my girls from clubland at 5am then the Sky Engineer rang at 8am to say he'd be with me within the hour so I feel gozzonked - and all while the little mites sleep.

Just saw the article, I look quite normal for a change?

But that's only me thinking again....:rolleyes:

Loved the book Ged I got it for Crimbo

Nice article. well done mate:)

Thanks Mandy and Tony.

Was that you I signed the last book for Mandy. At the St. Georges Hall history festival 2005?

Hi Ged
yes it was me I have all three of your books now, any plans for any more?

Me ald feller asks Ged does your book mention Birley Baths and skinny dipping ? :D

Birley baths ey. Does he mean Burroughs baths (complete with cockroaches). There is a pic of the water rats, the local lads who in the early 1900s used to skinny dip in the canal at Burlington bridge which was warmed by the Tate & Lyle flushings. I lived off Burly from 93 to 98 after Burroughs (originally a wash-house) had made way for the Kingsway Wimpey 'apartments'.

Is'nt/wasn't Burroughs baths around near the Eldon Ged?

Hello little princess. Yes, it was situated in Burrough's Gardens which ran from Limekiln Lane by Eldon Grove to Bevington Hill. I've seen a pic of it knocking about on the web, i'll see if I can find it for him.
