The Southern part of Park rd. just doesn't seem the same without the old buildings e.g. the dark terraced housing that used to be here:

A couple of listed buildings (over the road from the grassed area) have been lost in the last few years, to be replaced with empty space/modern housing.
No, I never took any of those terraces... I've got to rely on a 'free' council leaflet to remind me of those terraces, which has a pic. I always meant to, I must have passed them thousands of times over the years.
There's a small pic here (taken the morning after the first fire in Liverpool during the Fire-Brigade strike a few years ago...this featured in the Liverpool Echo at the time as I can remember they said a man had to jump out of the building after someone set it alight. It also featured on the TV news as it was the first call-out for the Army at the time)

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?

Thanks for the link to the picture.
When I had a saturday job the wool shop was run by Ivy Howarth.
Don't think she owned the premises, she may have rented the shop part.
I say this because the building was big and the back part had living quarters which was run by another lady who had students lodging there.
The woman who ran the wool shop lived elsewhere.
Perhaps the woman with student lodgers was called Temberly. I'm not sure what year Ivy retired from there - new owners could have been that name.
