Images of Liverpool Past

[Ged]

Gerard. I remember you saying on the pubs thread that your dad was Born in Arley Street, just by the trees facing the Non Pareil. This picture shows those very houses just before the first world war which were built in 1897 to replace slum property. The scene is looking up from Vauxhall Road towards Summerseat. They were known as 'Scotch Houses' and the front doors were in groups, two leading straight into the ground floor house and the other two leading straight upstairs to seperate houses. They were cleared in the 1960s.
