Every time I walk up Bold Street and see the bombed-out church above the crowds and between the buildings I think ... what a great picture that would make
Anyone got one like that?

Nice photo Phil. That's one of the nicest views I've seen of Bold st - the buildings on the left and the church at the top - looks very nice.
Thanks Philip
One image from there sticks in my mind, it had just stopped raining and Bold St, the buildings and all the people were damp and dark and soggy but the church at the end was illuminated in the sunshine - it looked tremendous, I wished I'd had my camera

Thats cheating being able to take photos back then
That's my humble photo. Taken on a deserted sunday morning with the cathedral having a nose in the background:Thats cheating being able to take photos back then
I can't go back before the War, but this is from 1982, when I was still taking photos in B & W, just before I went over to colour.
You could if you really tried Philip

Old Bold Street
Some of my ancestors were shop owners in Bold Street in the 19th Century. Their locations ranged from 38a Bold Street - Dressmakers and Milliners. They moved to 95 Bold Street in 1860 and 78 in 1862. The owner was French and it was a ladies fashion boutique. They also had a drapery business in 101 London Road. 97 to 101 in 1868. The family were still at 78 Bold Street in 1871 until at least 1877. They moved after to Chatham Street.
Is the photo of 85 Bold Street similar property? The family were a mix of French and Scottish. Interesting that Perth Dyeworks (Eventually Cleaners) were nearbye.
I would love to see any other photos of the area, especially older properties as they might have been.
The Carling gallery.
If anyone is interested, the Maggie May cafe in bold street - a few shops down from News from nowhere opened its upstairs as the Carling gallery last mon 17th. A great occassion with Phil Redmond and a piper (from the St. Paddy's day band) were in attendance along with Ron Formby (scottie press) Tony and Lorraine Brown (100 heads), Olwen McLaughlin (Editions), David Charters (daily post), Mike Kelly (Kitty Wilkinson and Liverpool Irish connection books), David Yip (KIND), Kay Kelly (Friary campaigner), Colin Dyas (Liverpool vision) - sorry to any of those I missed out.
It is in recognition of James William Carling, born in Addison St. (see www.scottiepress.org) and search. - but anyone may exhibit and/or sell from there - just see John Lea.
John Lea, the gallery and cafe owner is himself from the nearby Fontenoy Gardens and a great lad.
Had an afternoon of fun yesterday, beginning around the Bold Street Area

Great pics Kev. Some cracking old architecture around that area. Must make the people trade and live in fuel poverty though - best pull em' down
