    In the early 1970s, the view of Everton was fantastic. It was full of high rises on the hill and looked like a



    mini Manhatten. Literally. I have seen no photos from the top from that period.

    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?

    Page 53 of my book 2 has a pic with 19 of these high rise up on the Netherfield road area but it's an aerial view from around by the Municipal, not from the Cathedral.

    Nice pics Kev. Looks like they were taken from the car park by the Paradise Development.

    I suffer from Vertigo Gerard and find any heights horrible - but when it comes to church towers, I just imagine that I'm at floor level and not nearly 300ft in the air

    Im afraid looking over the Edge Jona at the drop did it for me,there was no way I'd have done that if I knew it was going to be like that.

    I'd love to get the shots from there but I'm scared of heights. Oddly I have no problems with a window seat and enjoy flying. My mates went up there and showed me the 7 flights of stairs you have to climb. That looked scary. Stupid irrational fears. Dunno what I'm exactly scared of, but its very annoying.

    I'm slightly scared of heights, I felt very weird going up those stairs, legs went to jelly and the top was an experience and I kept thinking the whole thing was going to collapse, silly I know.
