A couple of recent lampost Planning Notices:

Land between Caryl Street/Grafton Street (120 apartments ). A note on the constraints for this site states: 250m of Landfill Site, Location DOCK AREA, L3/L17/L19.

Great Eastern Pub (Harlow/Mill Street), 12 apartments.

Sefton Street (another car showroom, by the current ones, between Hill St/Northumberland St)

Took some pics of Ducie Street and around Granby Street today.

How sad to see these fantastic examples of architecture in such a state and apparently have been that way for a number of years.

DUCIE STREET

Jermyn Street

The Stables, Grafton Street: This was being surveyed yesterday (looked like height measurements were being taken). I haven't checked for any planning notices yet.

Ellis Place (top of Park Road): A pic of this narrow street was in the Liverpool Echo. The gates that blocked this Public Highway have been removed. No doubt, to allow for the demolition of the adjacent Church.

Crackin views Daisychains!

It is sad to see such stable terraced houses laid to rot whilst the grotty estates jutting onto these streets continue to stand.

What do people think of the replacement housing which is being built in the vicinity of the derelict streets?

I agree, they've been standing firm for as long as I can remember. Are they 3 story too? Renovate them now!

I quite agree!
Why pay out to build rubbish new cookie cutter houses when you have streets full of amazing architecture rotting away?
I feel like banging my head against a wall sometimes!

You too.Am sick of these glass framed places.

The problem is, these buildings are built to trend. We all know that this is somewhat of a bad idea after living through the mistakes of the 60's! The Piggeries was built as a modern example...only to be reduced to rubble 20 years later.

I would love to see how long the new buildings last...if they last 40 years I will be very suprised. You just cant beat a good terrace. The Victorians and the Edwardians got it right the first time round. We can only dream of doing the same.

I have a theory...the older generations always talk about how we used to have dignity and pride in our neighbourhoods. We all looked out for each other and had values. We all used to sit at the table and have a family meal. I wouldn't mind betting that all this was lost the day we started to clear away our communities and build sprawling estates which are now becoming notorious. I know for one that some of the replacement housing Birkenhead Corp' built don't have space for a kitchen table. Were these better than the terrace? I don't think so! We shouldn't destroy what we already have...we should make the most of it.

It is the land developers want. The Princes Avenue area for what its worth is quite valuable when you look at its location and links into the City Centre. If the council and the builders can get a lot of revenue out of this area, they will exploit it; but to the detriment of the physical face of the district; ie how it looks and feels. Its not just Liverpool where this is happening, you only need to look at Manchester and even Salford to see what a capitalist society can do to a well built suburb!

That terrace looks like it's secured as it to be renovated.

Does anyone remember this in the 70's on Gwendoline Street?
It was my auntie's house, her and my dad painted it.

I remember it very well. Original and superb. We need a few more of them.

Congrats to your Dad!!!!

I can remember one other mural on the corner of Mill Street/Northumberland Street. It was of a large ship. I've never seen a pic of this one.
