Good stuff.
Excellent pictures Georgie, many thanks. Vipond Street ran between Kilshaw Street and Boundary Lane.
Thanks George,

Vipond Street.
Found your street listed on A Guide to Liverpool 1928, I've highlighted the area in purple around your street. I hadn't heard of Vipond Street before now and Kellys 1963 edition doesn't list it. When did you live there, George?Originally Posted by GeorgePorgie

The guy who gave the Boundary Lane lead was spot on too.
I didn't,just wanted to see where about in Everton it was based....I lived Albion Street,in between St Domingo Road and Northumberland Terrace....we were a bit posh yer know...little narrow gardens outside.When did you live there, George?
I know what you mean. It's always seemed a waste to pull down houses when a lot of them could have been modernized / renovated. I know there were some dwellings that were decrepit and deserved to be pulled down, but the CPO demolitions were outrageous. I speak from the point of view of a person who was born in the tenements of Kempston Street,
family moved to Gillmoss for a time,
by chance happened to make it back to Roscommon Street
then moved out to Heyworth Street
Lasted in Heyworth Street till 1967- 68
before once again the council planning drove us out
'tis a tale of woe and anger, but we all have different opinions on the great council land grab.
That's all for now,
Regards,
Chas
Oh I don't have any gripes of them pulling the houses down in the Everton/Kirkdale area,as they were in bad shape and outlived their usage.
What does annoy me is the poor ****e way they have remodelled the area ie a waste of land that could have housed new houses,instead they threw up tenaments and maisonettes that are an eyesore now and nobody is interested in living in em.the slopes could have been turned into ski practice slopes and would have been more fun than walking around a stupid so called park.
