Gilly,
I bet loads of Away supporters have memories of the bottom end of Scottie in the early 70s when they walked back to Limey, especially that hill This is no reflection on the Scottie community, as all the Red and Blue troublemakers came from the outlying housing estates.
Smashing Photos there Gerard
I remember the incline on Chaucer st,we used to get a roller skate,put some wood across it,then sit on it and go down the hill !!!!!!!!
We would play for hours at this,then come home cut and bruised,but hey.........we were back to the game the next day,
Ohh,loverly memories

Here's a few Snaps from my Slideshow I made in 2005.
Over 650 photos on 1 DVD for a Tenner..Complete with Dvd Sleeve..price includes UK postage.. Region Free..will play worldwide..
All my own Photos and over 60 Joe Devine classics (which I paid him for the priveledge to use)
Not a bad price considering 1 photo ordered from the Local Liverpool newspaper will cost you £8..
(eg..Photos taken Inside T Brown the Jeweller's on London Rd in the last few days before it Closed down..They will cost £8 for 1 photo..I was the only person Invited into T Browns in the last week on 3 seperate days including the Last Day Closing down Party..all the Photos I took of the last week in T Brown will also be available soon on a Dvd Slideshow..price....£10...Bargain )
Im not making claims that this is anything special..Im made up with it though and more Importantly as far as Im concerned is that the the Ex residents of Gerard Gardens and people in the St Josephs/Holy Cross area's are Delighted with it..and that will do fer me mate !!

brilliant photos Gerard I really enjoyed looking at them
Thanks Mandy..glad you like them.
I will be the 1st to admit though that they are not the best Quality photos..
I had only just got my 1st Computer and never had a clue what I was doing to be honest,,not a single lesson..just harrishing my Lad "How do I do this".."How do I do that"..I genuinely tried to make it to the best quality that I could..
Its only the last few months to be Honest that I've been on here that I've learnt about proper photography and techniques..
And that is all down to Scouser Dave...Thank you Dave.
Anyway..thats why Im only charging a tenner for it..and its well worth it !!

I have this disc and I would recommend it. Good stuff.
Currently Ignoring:
The Door Bell
The voices in my head
A couple of my old pics taken around Cazneau St.
Gerard mate, can you date the pub pic? Just thinking the "For Sale" sign may give a clue. I think it may have been taken about 10 years ago.
Its a great DVD Gerard, i still look through it now and again

FAO...A.D Williams and Gnomie...

I'd say that photo was taken about 6/8 years ago at the most Dave..
I can remember though the for sale sign was up for years so it could have been a bit longer.
My Brother's mate's Mum had that Pub and it was affectionately known as Ginnie Melody's..
They have been best mates since they were about 3 weeks old and Rrrr kid now works for K.C who has his own building firm.
I've had a few good sessions in there I can tell yer mate..Lol.
