Thanks for all these interesting old pics Sirob

Thanks, Lindylou. A pleasure to share them.

These pics were taken on a "Magical History Tour" of the Beatles haunts in Liverpool. It was a wet, gloomy day in 1983, but this just adds atmosphere.

Park Road, Toxteth, through the front window of the bus.
Similar.
Windsor/Admiral Street(x2)
Ringo's former house.

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

I think it is Fairy Street, the top intersects with the top of St Georges Hill.

That would be the Windy House in the background.

The last picture looks like one of the streets running up from Great Homer Street to Netherfield Road.

Cannot place the third one.

Yes Samp you could be right about the Fairy Street Photo

Could the third image be in the vicinity of the Collegiate?? The castelled building in the background could be a fit. In that case, the third image would be around Springfield/ opposite where Staples is now.

Lord Street

could the 5th photo be York Terrace looking towards Our Lady Immaculate School (the Dungeon on the Hill )
the spire is very similar to photos I've seen

The 4th photo (Post #529) is Nelson Street, looking towards Upper Duke Street.

Thanks again, Sirob.

87?
Was there an 87 route?

Lovely photo.

[quincyg]

what a great bus. I really do miss that green.
the 86 and 87 buses replaced the 8 and 33 tram routes.

the 87 disappeared for a while but made a comeback in the mid 80's briefly.

the route numbers change so often now I can hardly keep up

[Waterways]

That bus!! Got it now!!!

It was an on loan London Transport special edition Routmaster. The London red is inside. Liverpool loaned a bus to London, I think an Atlantean. It was red painted with London Transport on the side (the London red can be seen in the picture) running the 27 route for a number of months. I used it a bit as a kid. It obviously was painted Liverpool green and probably then red and given back.

Great pics Merseywail. Old Haymarket/St. John's Lane has many memories for me when catching the bus to Kirkdale to see my (then girlfriend) or putting her on the last bus home.
