Boundary Street, now new housing. Just the other side of the bridge is now the big tai pan chinese restaurant. This area was desolate for quite some time.

I lived in maisonettes, also the ground floor flat in the first photo on St Domingo Rd , they were demolished about 2 years ago
photos are from Liverpool Pictorial
Great subject for a thread.
It seems to be the policy now to get rid of them all, so snap away chaps, while you can.
I've got some of the Dingle I'll post.
Russell Street. The continuation of Seymour Street going up past the Swan.
Off St. Domingo Road, March 2003.
thanks for that photo Ged I lived in 3 houses in that Street
I first lived at no. 3 with my dad, then no. 2 my first flat until I had a serious fire & had to be rescued by neighbours & firemen(I still have the news paper cutting), after the fire I moved into no.9 until 2002 just before they were demolished

heres the story from The Daily Post
These flats fronted onto Leeds street and backed onto Worfield Street. Vauxhall Gardens stood behind them.

Mike. I think I have some more Maisonettes to post up where you may see the entrances.
I'm not sure I know the subtle differences between 50s/60s designs...some had round windows, landings, raillings and some didn't. Here's a couple that have since been demolished.
Essex Street Jan. 2005
Lamport Street (rear) Sept. 2004...you can see where the raillings have been bricked-up.
