Anyway.............
One of the good things about getting in there after hours was to see parts of the museum not usually accessable to the public. Entering from the rearthere is a massive lift (for moving dinosaurs and the like about) and a loading bay. I got to take some pics out of the rear windows which i'd not seen since the 1970s as the now defunct staircase was there back then.
From the left, there is Adlington and Bispham House heights, built in 1966/67 - then panning to the right are the new apartments on Leeds Street.
The end of the old Byrom street technical college as we knew it back then, now part of the JMU.
I don't know but a couple of hundred low level bungalows and houses where the once vibrant tenements of Fontenoy and Gerard Gardens once stood, housing around 700 families seems to have rendered the area a bit souless
