BE NICE......................OR ELSE
According to the book: A Pictorial History of Old Swan and Tuebrook by Colin Gould.
Liverpool Corporation's Old Swan Stables in Broadgreen Road became surplus to requirements on the demise of the horse drawn trams and, in 1906 part of the stables was demolished for the building of Old Swan Technical College.
During the 1920's the stables housed many of the Corporation's bus fleet, some of which can be seen in the photograph taken in about 1926.
The depot was eventually handed over to the Education Comittee in 1938 for an extension of Old Swan Technical College.
Hope this answers the question, what was there before the College.
Martin.
Well found Mart.
I don't know I'm afraid.
If there was any workmen who had an interest, maybe...
if not, it will have gone with all the dust and bricks

The latest additions to this page
http://inacityliving.piczo.com/?g=44843738&cr=7
on my site include 7 photos of streets demolished and abolished for the building of the Royal Hospital and some from around Anfield on matchday in December 69.
The last 4 around Everton and Myrtle street are very atmospheric too.
It's taken many trips to the LRO and with thanks to individual contributors too, the 6000th pic has just been uploaded to my site today including these.
A busy Queen Square in 1951
Woolton Village in 1952
More than 5750 of the photos are previously unpublished though these two were back in the 1980s, the LRO books now being out of print.
