Liverpool Tower Blocks

Thanks Chippie, that's cleared something up because another poster had said on another thread that they were further along from Northumberland Terrace but I was sure they weren't - thank you for confirming i'm not going mad.

Cresswell Mount was on Netherfield Rd South, photo from LRO

& Rock View was in Devonshire place

[chippie]

Sorry Robbo, neither of those two buildings were Cresswell Mount. The said building was out of the picture further north, honest.

Hi Chippie I'm certain they they are Cresswell Mount ,the same photo is in Ged's book In a City Living volume 2 & he says they are Cresswell Mount


heres a photo of Cresswell Mount during demolition in 1984 taken from Everton Terrace -photo from A Pub on every Corner- volume 4



Cresswell Mount also had a small club at the bottom ,I went there a few times

[chippie]

Morning Mandy, the photo from the book is Cresswell Mount, my flat was top left. It didn,t have a club at the bottom but the first flats you put up did. They are two separate blocks. If you want pistols at dawn see my mam

Right. Been doing a bit more digging.

I got my info off the LRO who scribble the whereabouts on the back of the original photies in the search room, however, it further seems to be corraborated (that's a big word Ged) by page 125 of Freddy O'connor's a pub on every corner vol 4 and also on page 53 of my book No.2 (the green one), there is an aerial shot of Gt Homer st from 1986 before HAT bought any of the high rise and so before any demolitions and there doesn't appear to be any high rise that far South (until Rock View). The Braddocks of course stood on the opposite side of Nethy next to the Old Stingo pub.

Hiya Mandy. Thanks for that link. The last 2 captions of Freddy's are wrong though. One is of Everton Brow with John F. Kennedy heights in the background. The last one is of Prince Edwin Lane flats.

Chippie, I have some of Garabaldi Heights on my website mentioned below.

Notice the little viewing tower by the lock up.
