Unseen Liverpool

[Sirob]

Philip G, yes I did get the Victoria and a look inside, but there is nothing to suggest that it ever was a cinema! I was going to walk through the "tunnel", but having attracted the attention of a group of lads, decided to escape. Do you need a minder?


The former Royal cinema, Breck Road, Everton
Inside views of the Royal, the last one showing the line of the balcony

I see it's now unique furniture. Wasn't it called Regal a couple of years back as my mate worked there, they also have a branch in Walton rd.

Nice pics of that entrance Sirob and Philip. I like that tunnel one.

The cinema screen at the Philharmonic Hall rises out of the stage and is the last working example of this type, in the world.(x3)
Site of the Bedford Cinema, looking towards the Church
Entrance floor of the Bedford Cinema. This originally said "Bedford", but when Abram & Mitchell bought the building, they replaced it with this.

Thanks, Ged. I get all this stuff from decades of scrounging/collecting and photographing everything that I thought might go.

Tonights offering;
The first two I think are Everton, somewhere
The last three are South Liverpool.
Any location details would be much appreciated
All mid 1960's, but no details on back!!!

Hello Sirob. The first two pictures of Everton streets. I think the first one could be St Georges St. Leading up from Netherfield Rd to half way up St Georges Hill.

The second picture is in the same area, maybe Mountjoy Street. The flats in the background I think are the Braddicks, now pulled down and built upon.

Cheers Samp.

Goodness me, Sirob I remember that public toilet at the bottom of Rupert Lane. It was like a big sheet of slate or metal of a dark colour. I used it quite often. No Philip, keep it clean now!!!!!

Unseen by many, the ornate entrance to Anfield Cemetery in Cherry Lane
This is a railway bridge, under the Bootle branch from Edge Hill.
Perhaps it might at least get weeded!!

Nice pic,s from years ago, it isn't like that now.
It looks like Phil G,s pic,s.
Take a look at this site

Sirob and Merseywail, thanks to you both for posting all of these precious photos. They belong to us all now.

Sirob, you say the film is faded, but all hope is not lost....this is my corrected version of your most recent Black 5 photo, even working from your posted version the improvement is dramatic, and I'm no Photoshop expert. Given access to the original slides / prints or negs, a professional could probably pull a surprising amount of detail back from the murk. Hang on to the originals!

hi, just browsing through this thread, and could not resist having a go,, great thread, bye for now jimmy

that first pic with the little fella in with the specs, I seem to remember that block of flats but can,t quite pin point it
