Fantastic pics, thanks for posting. They took me right back with a jolt. That inflatable bouncy snake thing looks really familiar.

70s pic
I remember when I first started helping out at the Blackie they were still trying to produce inflatables using plastic welders and all sorts of ingeneous ideas. Its amazing how things like adhesives have developed over the last thirty years or so.Originally Posted by goldenface

John
The amount of times I've bounced off one of those inflatable and nearly killed my self doesn't even bear thinking about ha ha ha. Any idea what year those pictures were taken John?
That's a beaut of a pic underworld. Where's it from, any credit to anyone - never seen it before?
Ged its a cheap postcard i have. You tend to get them for a song. Spose they'll be worth something one day.
Here you go Ged.
This was taken in St. Vincent Street just behind the Swan pub on London Road, and Seymour street falling down in the background.
I took this sometime in 1977.
That's a good un H. As you may have gathered, I like the mundane shots, that's a compliment by the way. There must be 3 million to choose from of the Liver or cathedral but I like these long lost views. I spy a MK 1 Cortina, Capri and Morris 1100 too.
What made you take it though?
Well my Grandad used to live St Vincent street and we used to play right there mate, bursting tar bubbles on the road in the summer with a matchstick, and getting a telling off when we got in.
'Bully' for you - if you get what I mean
Yeah i wouldn't mind though, me mam shouldn't have shouted at me for bursting tar bubbles, I mean I was 24 at the time!
Ayear earlier than your pic, 76 - that summer phew. I remember bursting tar bubbles in our square that year and making those propeller things withly ice sticks after demolishing a 'there's nothing nicer than a pendleton's twicer.
And those big hairy caterpillers were everywhere - or was it a young Liam Gallagher?
Well i was joking Ged
I was bursting mine around 63-64, in 76 I'd well discovered Gurls and beer!
Not what I heard
i think this is the irish centre
