Merseywail, your great pics take me back! I remember that the corpi had three "experimental" buses, E1, E2, E3. The last one was often on the No 3 route from Spellow Lane in the '60's. The E3 was longer, but was rear entry. It also had heating!

Croxteth Hall Estate is now a country park. Some pics from its final life as an estate.

Interesting selection! Anymore "Cavern" pic's?
ta, steve.

Sirob...thats the Queensway Tunnel Mouth...you can see the old column that used to stand on the roundabout in the background!

Great images once again...Does anyone know if the Huskisson Mauseleum is still intact? I noticed the statue dedicated to him on Princes Avenue, L8 is missing the person himself! Not a good sight.

the statue is now at Dukes Terrace off Duke St, Russ


I've got a pic of the mausaleum somewhere will add it to this post when I find it. so many files to go through

[Sirob]

There are one or two more "Cavern" pictures, but I thought that it was well documented. As there is interest, I'll put them in a future post.

British Railways had a vast network around Liverpool. These pics are time capsules of the railway detail that lasted, mouldering away, until the wholesale rationalisation of the sixties. I have no information as to locations, but I suspect the docks or Edge Hill.
They were mixed up with family pictures from the Kirkdale area.

Yeh,your right Sirob,the Cavern is well documented, but it tends to be the same pic's,again and again! It's nice to see some different people, even if the doorways just the same, so your posts are appreciated!

Some "Cavern" pictures;

Entrance steps
Arches (x2)
The "Bar" for soft drinks
Billy Butler pointing to where it used to be, (source unknown)

Fantastic!!! Just as I recall. That was the old entrance nearer the stage - am I right? The new entrance was further down at the other end of the tunnels.
