    I've seen a single-decker Stagecoach bus around which I've yet to photograph...it contains a picture of Kensington Fields Community Centre along the side of the vehicle. It is an old view, that is not possible to repeat nowadays (since the building has been refurbished/re-painted).

    Eggheads is a t.v. quiz show around 6pm is a team of 'professional' quiz masters including a former mastermand winner and the lady who won a million on who wants to be a millionaire etc etc.

    They play against other teams of 5, the winnings going up by a thousand pounds or more each time. Nobody has beaten them yet so the possible takings are up to 30K.

    Last night, a team from Kensington called KOFI - Kensington old fogeys took them right to the wire and the last question - alas missing out on being the first.

    Next time maybe.

    Default Gloucester place

    Regarding Ged's post...seen that,hard lines I thought.

    Ok,help needed here....
    my dad who is in his 70's visited today.I showed him this site and he asked me to see if anyone had any pics of Gloucester place/Low hill end ?
    I also found out today that he painted most of the old pubs in Liverpool,he used to push a hand cart up west derby road.He also said that there used to be a street called "Every street" and he reckons you won't find anything on that? He is old but still got his all his marbles.

    He is right about Every St. it is or was almost opposite the Grafton off West Derby Rd.

    Yes. It seems strange now that them buildings on Kenny are down. The actor David Morrissey was from Seldon Street. They've knocked some of that side down as well...

    Well Shytalk's got it right about the location of Every street and the joke of course was a resident there could say he lived in every street in Liverpool. Gloucster Place is only there in part now, the local pub was in the next street, the Phythian which is still there (blue and white) but not open for business I think. Don't know about the parrot or palladium pubs but they might be in Freddy O'Connors books.
