REMEMBER CHURCH ST LIKE THIS?

[Ged]

Church street yesterday - buzzzzin' lar...

And the Williamson Square continental market, though with an Indian stall or two, perhaps it was a World market?

Ged, it's funny you should say that because my son came in from town yesterday and said it was heaving and dead busy. 'buzzin !'

[quincyg]

Lord St and Bold St where the same. Nice to see crowds all the way up not just at L1

[Ged]

And so many foreign voices too and cameras and videoing going on.

I heard some Mancunians! Who needs the Trafford Centre eh?
I think it's great that people come here to see for themselves what it's like.

And that's just the locals

I was in town with my mum the other day and I commented that I'd never seen so many people taking photos. There seemed to be cameras everywhere. So much for this thing about not being able to photograph things - everyone was doing it!

that's the beauty of being in town, we can pretend to be tourists . it's the burbs where I tend to get most odd looks...as well as when I'm photographing

"Very Good"! John(Z), That was exactly my thoughts when I last visited the UK! Cheers to All!

You'd think her with her arms folded was posing but they were all walking along, look at her next to her with her leg in walking mode

Not sure whether I`ve posted this before but some members might not have seen it. On the left is Hendersons store which had a massive fire.
Taken at Xmas time in the 1960`s

I think I shall have to build a time machine to take pics of Liverpool In the past when there was more classy architecture not getting smashed down.

Before the 70s/80s, there looked like there was cool stuff to photograph like In Chambre Hardman's stuff.

Aww what a lovely b/w shot of Church St. If only one could walk into it...

Dave.

Church street was fabulous then, I remember it well...I wish I could walk into that photograph, turn left down Tarleton street and walk into Hobbies Toy and Model shop....Then go and have a "ride" on the escalators in Lewis's...The only store in town who had them I believe and such a novelty to an 8 year old. Great and wonderful memories indeed.

[Mark R]

Yes Klaatu. I remember Hobbies...I used to love going into that shop. It was great back then...I remember going into Lewis's as a kid and it seemed massive - like Macy's or Harrod's or something

[Klaatu]

Yeah, spot on Mark...I thought that too.
Woolies on Church street seemed to be massive too.
