Your photographs are amazing and awe inspiring, they really do bite at my memory, each one of them has so much nostalgia dripping out of it. please please have a railway war, post everything! This link has even surpassed my Everton one at the top of the pile. Please please continue to enthrall us us with the images of a past that is so recent in our minds.
Outstanding content we all agree
oh so gratefull Tony (Keep the railway theme going....)
Some shots of the merseyside electrics. a neglected subject. The first is a Lancashire & yorkshire train at sandhills, or is it seaforth, anyone know? Southport is the next location & shows a L&Y ''overhead'' train on its way to Crossens in 1938. these trains were a lightweight stock, & were used to run trains from Southport to Dingle, via the overhead rly. Southport st lukes is next, & shows an LMS built ''br class 502'' train also going to Crossens in 1953. A 502 train again this time at Birkdale in 1953. And last is a mersey railway train at park station in 1935.

Well, thanks for all your kind comments, which makes the mammoth task of digitising and restoring, worthwhile. I have a vast archive, so Ged will not be disappointed. I started Unseen Liverpool as a means to share the many unusual pics that I had taken. Some are just like the documentary "Morning in the Streets", others where it was not worth a pic, - until it was gone! I'm posting them all mixed up, so you don't know what is coming next!
ENJOY!!!!!!

They're all great photos.
Sometimes I used to take the lift to the top of a high-rise, just to enjoy the view.
But I never took photos!
