Just one thing though...

I dont think this was taken in Liverpool; possibly a satellite town but not Liverpool (the lighting is completly wrong!). Might have been St Helens or somewhere in industrial Lancashire, but as far as the lighting people know, Liverpool didnt use that kind of installation (infact, they invented their own on the most part!)

Thanks for sharing them with us but I fear at least one of them isnt of the city. Sorry bout that!

A couple remind me of Childwall Valley Road or Broadway.
A couple of easy ones..
Pic 18 is Mornington Terrace, looking up Upper Duke Street
Pic 20 is looking down Upper Duke Street (Rodney Street is on the right)

[robbo176]

1 - Townsend ave.

2, 3, 5 - Childwall as Robbo says.

7- Broadway.

9- Carrisbrook rd (Walton).

10- Lisburn lane. L13.

Thank you Wallasey, Marky, Robbo and Lindylou for having a go.

Lindy do you mean 7 Carisbrook Rd and 9 Broadway?

I already have a caption written on the back of No.7 saying 'Marmaduke st, looking into Church Mount towards Holland Place'

Are you positive about No.10 as i'm missing that location.

I'll post a few of the other captions I already have soon. I'm surprised that the Woolton Road gang haven't recognised any?

[lindylou]

Ged, I've got mixed up with counting them

I'll have to look through them again.


Got to go - son in from school .. see ya' later.

22 Looking down Woolton road towards Garston village..I think the junction on the left is Island road (which would have lead to the old Garston market)

23 A closer view further down the road showing Garston Home Guard. I'm sure I've seen a picture of this building in a book I own. This building has since been replaced.

A Garstonian could probably confirm these locations.

A couple of those pics are the streets running off Wavertree road (near the top end)... I only know this because I walked around there the other day. I was going to take a pic of the South side of Marmaduke Street (this side is tinned up) but the weather was too dull. Most of Gladstone road has bricked-up windows.

A then and now shot of the junction of Vauxhall Road/Tithebarn St/Hatton Garden and Great Crosshall Street.

Aye, 2,3 and 5 are looking up/down Childwall Valley Road. I've got a cine film from 1969 showing a double decker bus going up the road, I'll have to dig it out.

That was a very good tiled building.
I always enjoyed seeing it (but never got round to taking photos of it).
The replacement is so bland!

[Ged]

Yes Prouts garage, you could drive through that opening and out of the other side. The next building down was built as a Welsh Chapel but Brian Green office equipment took residence there in the 1980s.

The Pier Head baths just before they were demolished in 1906. They stood in front of the Port Of Liverpool Buildings.
