Yes, you have Ged, I've just seen it. Is the photo next to it with baths hanging up a view of the rear of the same place?
Yes, just looked, sure are Dave.
The Barracks was an area of poor housing behind the West Derby Courthouse. These tenements were demolished in the 1930s.
The Barracks were located between Almonds Green & Haymans Green , It is suggested they were once occupied by troops & were ordered to be demolished in 1934 . RonQuote:

The most noticeable thing about these old street scenes is the number of children to be seen. That is one aspect of the so-called good old days that I wish to see again.
Hope the ladies don't come down too heavily on that remark.
