Liverpool Abandonment Dilapidation Dereliction

[Kev]

We've got plenty of beautiful pics, now what about those areas/ buildings/ structures etc that are currently in a state of abandonment, dilapidation and dereliction?

Shameful abandoned properties in lovely tree lined streets. This is Cairns street off Granby street.It's not just individual houses either but whole streets. Rows and Rows of houses that are closed down and have been for years.

There's going to be lots to choose from.
Some of these buildings will probably be demolished, so we might as well include buildings that have recently been demolished as well.

This is Langdons, not the Scandinavian Hotel which people seem to think it was.
It was built as a factory in about 1858, and remained a factory.
The 1887 date is when Langdons took over the building.
In the 1930s they built an extension at the back (on Duke Street), and it was there that the hotel was.

That's going to be demolished, Kev.
It used to be part of the Baths.


Brooks Alley.
This has been like this for possibly 50 years!

The trees and bushes have been allowed to grow, so it is difficult to see this library from the road.
Perhaps to hide the shame that it's not the only Liverpool library which is closed in Capital of Culture Year?

What a shame, this is a picture of the same building being worked on by my Grandad and his crew of carpenters in about 1903.
