We Where told it will become an Aldi store, oh yes just what we need, another store. The traffic will get worse![]()
Kwik Save have now joined the likes of Coopers, Fine Fare, Lennons, Gateway, Brookes, Irwins, etc., as Supermarkets in the Sky.
I took these photos because this building was once the Regent Cinema, which was only open from 1926 to 1938.
The style of the Kwik Save name altered over the years, and the photos date from 1982, 1987, 1989 and 2007.

Will add others when they build that tripe on it.
BE NICE......................OR ELSE
Great Pictures.
Baden House is mostly built over the Regent Cinema,s Front Carpark. The front of the Cinema was about in line with the back yard wall of the houses on the East side of Baden Road. There was also a rear Carpark.
The last Picture over the rooftops of the houses includes our old house No3 Leinster. My bedroom window at the back brought back memories of very cold winter nights with three of us under the overcoats in one bed. Lived there till I was 27 when I married in New Zealend. My mother was in that house for 62 years. Lots of memories for me looking at these shots. Thanks

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?

This is from an old Tithe Map in the 1830s I think.
To give you an idea of direction plot '2473' is roughly where St Oswald Church is now. Also clearly shown is the 'quarry' at what would become Hoults Corner
This one is interesting because it shows the Old Swan Glass Works (plot 2477 and 2476). These Glass Works were bought by Pilkingtons and Chances in 1855. The huge round bit would have been the 'cone' where the furnace was located.
Great stuff.
