Does anyone remember this in the 70's on Gwendoline Street?
It was my auntie's house, her and my dad painted it.

Then




Now

Lovely house DaisyChains, its such a pity they've repainted it in such a boring colour

Wasn't this Ivor Ali's house, I think he painted it! He is known as the soul singer Ivan Stax. The ship mural was painted by a lad called John Foster, I used to play football with him,(then we got a ball )

My dad helped to paint it. (Ivor's brother)

Great house there Daisy Chains.. too bad someone painted over the fine work of art... It definitely looked like a garden of flower power.. Loved it.. How creative to go beyond the norm. Would make more people come alive , to not have to conform to boring colors all the time...


Nice pics also Robbo..

Alright, DC, I dont know when you took the photo, I go past here quite often, and the other week there were guys in hi viz jackets taking readings, said they were being knocked down, and guess what's going there, right along to Hill St, and up to Bewy? LUXURY APARTMENTS
so I dont know what the blocks are for, maybe to secure the building, or were they taking them out of the bilding?

It was going to be a comedy club a good few years back, but they found Asbsetos in there So that is maybe why nothing has been done?

We used to go to "raves" in the Scrapyard they were boss. You used to pay for Cans of Lager and it was handed down through a hole in the ceiling.
Also The Pivvy club was a sound place if you liked Dance Music.
I think the Pivvy was owned by John Smith a Garston lad.

Hi Verdi.
We took the pic this week.
I can't believe they are being knocked down!!!!!!!!!!!
More to the point, what a weird place to build luxury apartments!

I heard recently that Steble Street Baths (now part of Park Road Sports Centre), is to close. I haven't seen any official notice of this yet, though.
