Some quite sad.

The location is usually given as Richmond Row. I didn't know you could upload that many thumbnails into the one message and there's me doing 5 at a time on the other thread <doh>
The black lad at the steble fountain went on to sing all over the world, see the Scottie press website for details of that cos i've forgotten the full details.
Ged, that's interesting. Wonder if they know his name on the web-site?
Kev, those pictures did bring a tear to my eye.
Those kids had a raw deal in life didn't they.![]()
Ged, you pipped me to the postI had a root through Scottie Press before, and I got a bit tired as I've been staring at the computer too much tonight !! So I book marked it for tomorrow.
You saved me the trouble of searching.![]()
That info is SO interesting. I know that picture well - the one of the kids at the fountain. I had no idea that boy turned out to be famous - and in Argentina too. Wow !
I have some Argentinian friends who will be interested to see that![]()
Lindylou and anyone else interested. The scottie press site is a mine of info regarding the Vauxhall and Everton areas. You could spend a week traipsing through the whole site looking for a small article so just go to the search menu on the left and for instance I just typed in 'steble' to get this article up right away.
Just catching up with this thread. I haven't seen these large versions before. Thanks.
Kids playing around the Hannah May Thom statue that stood in Standish Street.
