Yes that's a great pic GD, one of my all time faves because we used to cut across that oller and through those old landing houses (where my nan and uncle lived) and through amongst the prefabs on our way to St. Gregs school which is just being built there across Prinny Eddy. The prefabs were empty and approaching dereliction by then though, it would have been approx 1973/74. I don't think these ones lasted much after that.
I recall the trouble around there with them too. They were all over from Ireland in their caravans. They must have been quite dumb to have setup camp there as all there was was trouble most nights. No one sane would live like that.
The council/police got rid of them in one swoop. They had trucks and cranes in convoys with big square logs on them and large tow trucks. They were told to get off the land. Those who never were dragged off by the tow trucks and the area had the large logs all around to prevent them getting back on.
They should have taken them to the Irish ferry and sent them back.
The new Amsterdam at Liverpool?
Save Liverpool Docks and Waterways - Click
Deprived of its unique dockland waters Liverpool
becomes a Venice without canals, just another city, no
longer of special interest to anyone, least of all the
tourist. Would we visit a modernised Venice of filled in
canals to view its modern museum describing
how it once was?

I remember the caravans being there, when they cleared the old prefabs away.
I had put up a screenshot from a video months ago, which included a shot of them. Not great quality but it was from a film from the 50's
