Not Bold St. that last one, nor is this....

Park Road?

Nearly.
By the way that last one - James St.- the building in the middle of the pic is also on that earlier one #435

Isn't that the view from about here?

St Pauls was just beyond Brook Street up on the left where the Unisys building is (isn't that the old Littlewoods computer centre?)...I think.

Yes mate - Old Hall Street.
That photo was take in 1930 GS so you could be right about the viewpoint.
St Pauls has always been in and around Old Hall street in some form or another.
It was apparently finally moved to a permanent site on the corner of Old Hall Street/King Edward Street in 1912.

I thought Crane & Sons, they made pianos and other musical instruments, was somewhere around Lord Street and Church Street,

Wasn't Cranes in Hanover Street?      I might well be wrong though.....

Possibly, I expect they may moved their shop around a bit over the years but I was using here which says for 1898 ...

Crane and Sons Ltd. Musical Instrument Manufacturers, Crane's Building, Church Street, Liverpool

and

Head Offices and Factories, Scotland Road, Liverpool

If that is Kent to the right on the picture, I can't quite make out the sign on the wall, it used to connect to Park Ln pretty much at the junction of Jamaica and St James so I reckon that photo must must be just about here.

Another dramatic change.

Just beat me to it!

I think that building was called the "St Anne Street flats" and was about here

If you drill down on here a bit you'll find some pictures of them being constructed..

"A number of views of what were the then new flats which bounded Christian Street, Birkett Street, St Anne Street and Holly Street. Taken in 1914 to show them off, one also shows the road widening including the old brewery which was on the south side of Holly Street. The last pic shows the 1920s tenements which replaced that brewery."

Correct mate.
I've got some other interesting photos from the Eldon Street area but they are on my other computer which isn't well at the minute.
When I've hit it with a hammer a few times I'll put them up.

I believe a lot of those girder guys were Mohawks or some other North American Native group.
I've read that they just had absolutely no fear of heights whatsoever.
And I think the word 'punk' was first used on those skyscraper building sites to describe the kids whose job was to heat up and then lob the rivets to the rivetting men who would then hammer them in the joins.

It's just unbelievable.
When I was up in town a few months ago and having a drive round it was really noticeable. I was trying to point out to my son some of my old drinking dens around just the University area and up to Wavertree and they'd gone, and when I drove up Derby Road on the Way to Southport it was seriously depressing.
But it's throughout the country. Our little village had 4 pubs when we moved here 22 years ago, now it's just the one.
I talked to the wife about it (well I have to have some excuse to talk to her) and she reckoned it's just that times have well and truly changed from when we were young.
Our kids for example, if they are going out, they'll all go round to a friends house and have drinks there before going off to a nightclub, whereas our generation 20-30 years ago would have met up in a pub first. That trade has just disappeared. Taken with changes to transport and also if we are honest, attitudes to drink driving which is a good thing, it's no surprise that so many have closed.
I look back in horror to times around the mid 70's when a gang of us would pile in a car on a whim and go off as far as Blackpool or Manchester clubbing, but we'd all get absolutely tanked up in pubs on the way, including the driver on more than one occasion. Really moronically stupid when I look back but I expect we all did it at some time back in those days.

Anyway, on those photo's, the mosaic ones reminded me about this article from Scottiepress all about Little Italy and the mainly Italian immigrants who specialised in the marble and mosaic work around Liverpool. If you drill down, there's some great photo's of their handicraft like below in the White Star building
