The new Amsterdam at Liverpool?
Save Liverpool Docks and Waterways - Click
Deprived of its unique dockland waters Liverpool
becomes a Venice without canals, just another city, no
longer of special interest to anyone, least of all the
tourist. Would we visit a modernised Venice of filled in
canals to view its modern museum describing
how it once was?

In the black and white piccie the tower on the Spofforth pub can be seen. Behind it is the Microwave tower of the Gas Board offices. I worked there at that time. Many an afternoon had been spent in the Spofforth.
The houses were glazed yellow brick. most are still around today. The Gas Board offices are no more. Still there but unused.

the row nearest the ice cream van was demolished around 1973/74 as part of slum clearance

The Grosvenor is up the other end of Lawrence Road, near Gainsborough Road.
That modern picture is actually Lawrence Road too isn't it? Where the new NHS Surgery is?
One other thing isn't Webster road the first road udner the CPO's? Aren't they meant to be razed in 2008?

hi Waterways,
When did you work in the Gas Board Office? as my brother and his ex wife worked there, my brother did his apprentiship there when he left school,(he is 50 now) and his ex wife worked in the offices. My brother`s name is Alan Wynn and his wife was Pam Taggart, he worked there for years until they closed it down and he took redundancy.

I used to cut through the back entry in Annerley Street after dinner to go back to Webster Rd School.
The dairy was Thwaites and we would watch the cows being brought in to the buildings, this was 1959/63.
Nearly always late back to school after watching this little event.
Any pics of the school would be nice.
Yes He will have been there in the 1970s although only as a young 17 yr old doing his apprentiship probably around 1975 onwards until he took redundancy in the mid 90s, he went to a different company but I think they were all offered jobs in the new base in Manchester, dont know whether it is still in Manchester today or not. His exwife Pam worked in the offices around the same time but left to have there son in about 1980!
