New to this forum, so thought I'd start by posting a link on here to an excellent set of photos, taken by a young lady who lives in Seattle. I believe she lived in Lpool only for a year during the 80's, but captured our city wonderfully & just how I remember it, growing up as a child. Have a gander..!

Yes, they're great photos.
She's still very interested in Liverpool.
Kev, how about inviting her to join us?

I already have done when commenting on her pics, maybe a pm will do it.

I commented on number of her photos and PM ed her she never got back, it was the picture of the peoples festival held in Lime Street, and the other was of a very young FARM.

Wow, people are talking about me? I'm flattered! To be honest, I did join the forum awhile back, but got distracted, forgot my login, but here I am.

I'm not quite sure how to upload photos to a thread (I want to embed them in the message, but do I need to link to a url to do that?), but i'll give it a try. Here's a picture from the spring of '87, I was working in London at the time but went up to Liverpool for a weekend to show a friend around who had never been. And instead of hitting the tourist hotspots (cathedrals, Albert Dock), I decide we should walk up to Stanley Dock along the sea wall. Nice introduction to the city, I figured.

Welcome, there are a number of people who have mentioned your photos on this forum and I think will be pleased to hear from you.
I was around Liverpool at the time, and was at a number of the gigs, Peoples Festival, early farm gigs and have commented on a number of your picture, see an earlier posting on this thread.
Do you have any pictures of The High Five, who played the People Festival and a number of gigs with the farm, bunnymen, teardrops, in fact their drummer was the original drummer from WAH Rob Jones?

Regards John

Welcome, Nancy.

I love your pictures on Flickr.
I was busy taking photos of the old cinema buildings in the 1980s, but I did take other photos.
I still need a new scanner, because I have quite a lot I could post.

Nancy O, so glad to have you here at last, a warm welcome from me to you, hope you stay around for a while

Here's how to share your Flickr pics:

Click on your picture you want to share. Then follow the instructions on the screen grabs.

Its important that you go back to the original page as shown in picture 1. Flickr's terms and conditions state that you must link back to its photo page.

Read instruction 5 then 6 in order, they are both on the following picture...

Click on ok and preview the post to be sure the image appears and it links back to its Flickr page

Thanks Kev, I figured it was something like that! So I'll give it another go, here's a photo I recently tried printing by myself in a darkroom class and is a little better than the faded, washed-out image in my Liverpool set (some of you may have seen this in my photostream already). If I ever get enough darkroom time I'd like to do a proper set of prints.

And John, sorry no photos of the High Five, though I do remember seeing them a couple of times.

**john** · 11-26-2006

Thanks Nancy.

By the way I put some comments to your people festival picture, which I believe was the Lime Street event startin Wah, Aswad and the High Five was I correct?

**Kev** · 11-26-2006

@Nancy, I edited the pic so it links back to your original. Try clicking on it, you should see what I mean.

Thanks for sharing your wonderful snaps:

I think this is a fantastic question and I think it is entirely possible that it is the same rocky outcrop given the in-fill that was dumped later in the 20th century would have extended the land further than the original headland. Could someone get a picture of the rock feature and we could compare the shots directly? Thanks in advance!
