Hey Ged I had a mate round last night and was trying to Show him Kenny area.

He lived off Phythian Street and I managed to find your Phytian Pub Pic.

Maybe you could do links to areas, sorta like your Tennies links?

Kensington, Old Swan Huyton etc?

Just a thought I don't know how easy/hard it is to do.

My mate loved the site, we had to chase him at 11, he'd have been on it all night

You got another convert

I might be wrong Ged, but isnt that pic of the houses in Almonds Green, where Bessie Braddock used to live?

[Ged]

Thanks H.

I am seriously considering transferring all the pics to pages that will be dedicated to postcodes but it'll take a while, maybe while the records office is shut from May for 3 whole years

In the meantime i'm going to give an index at the bottom of each page as to what is on the blinkin' thing.

Thanks for the convert

I don't know linda - is that so?

[H_Asbo]

I just did a quick search and the only place I can get a street name where she lived is on this site, and thats after she married (I think)

Says "The Braddocks lived on Freehold Street in the Fairfield area, at the north end of the city."

I only know this, as everytime I went to West Derby with my mum, she used to always point the house out to me. and say thats were Bessie Braddock lives. Unless she was mistaken. But even so I think that is the house that she pointed out to me, whether it was BBs or not. .

Much appreciated

I have just found this on Wiki of West Derby.

[edit] Notable residents
Well known residents of West Derby have been; Shakespearian actor Leslie Banks, The Beatles' first drummer Pete Best, who lived in Haymans Green - the home of the Casbah Club where the group first practised; Bill Shankly the iconic Liverpool FC football manager, whose house overlooked Bellefield; Carla Lane the scriptwriter lived close by, as did Eddie Braben, the scriptwriter for Morecambe and Wise, Bessie Braddock the famous Liverpool Exchange Division MP.

Carla Lane had the ex convent* in Sandforth Road on the bend just past Bellefield Avenue.

*It might not have been a convent, but it did have religious stained glass windows.

My work colleagues brother has not long sold his beautiful cottage to Carla Lane in Woolton (I think, not to sure of the area as I dont know the South side of Liverpool very well.) We did go past it in the car and she pointed the cottage out to me, only looks small from the front, but quite large at the side.
