The Josephine Butler House on Myrtle St.I was proper pissed losing this & the manner in which it went too.
get thee to the library before the c*nts close it down
we are a bunch of twats commenting on a website.
To be fair, it's been reported in the echo for the last four or five months. It went on to consultation with the planning department on I think two occasions, after a protest.March 2016.http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/victoria-street-multi-storey-car-11025303October 2016 (with picture of proposed development)http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/heres-what-new-victoria-street-12071213?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=facebook
I don't read the echo so little wonder I've not heard about it. Although if that's the only way to hear about this sort of crap then the council isn't putting a lot of effort into publicising this shit imo
Last time I went there I saw masturbating chimpanzees. Whether you think that's worthy of £22 is up to you. All I'll say is I now have an annual pass.
My mate's dad swears down there was an underpass at the end of Lark Lane going under Aigburth Road towards the station - anyone remember this?
Sadly that's the council's MO..as little exposure as possible and get the wrecking ball in prontosuch a sad way to see it go....was only a car park yes, but it offered some welcome city-centre greenery and was a very aesthetically pleasing corner that complemented the surrounding architecture............in the 2012 strategic framework document there were possibilities of it becoming a city centre park (see below).....no such luck - see also the corner of Hardman Street and Hope Street (mentioned in the previous post) - which was similarly earmarked as a potential park/greenspace for students and visitors to the Philharmonic and is now a prefab student lego block with stick-on bricks.
When was that? I lived by Ogdens too but have to say I never noticed the smell or just that it was a nice sweet smell, noticed the buzzer that used to wake me up in the Morning though. Loved the billboard with the glowing pipe.
Mid 70's onwards mate. One persons sweet to another persons sickly! Honestly, it used to run my stomach ragged. The shift horn was always 0755 each morning, if I recall. Got me out of the house to get the bus to school!
Flemings? Me brother had some.
The Astoria in Walton. From a different angle..in the background..C'mon..fucking own up,who had a pair?
Anyone remember the Sausage Factory n lift bridge in Litherland? Have looked for photos and can't find any with the happy n blissfully unaware pig on top of the building I remember as a kid.I also remember being stuck on the bus - 55 & 28 - while the lift bridge did its thing.
...Is that a Marina estate & a Viva parked up?
Made me laugh as i had completely forgotten ablout Flemings til i seen the shop in that foto.I may have had a pair handed down,i'd have to ask one of me brothers.One place i did frequent was Barnett Shieldhouse..the original sports shop was next door to this & i'm fucked if i knew how that fucker got all those boxes of trabs in his shop..literally every inch covered floor to ceiling.
Yep spot on G, i was unfortunate to have once owned a similar Fiesta once,that feckin thing was the most unreliable car i have ever had & risked a broken foot every time i frustratingly kicked it. Got stranded about 5 miles from home in a pair of shorts & slippers after dropping off (my now mrs) home when i was courting her. The only good thing about it was its coulour red!Aye Rob that was some shop,i honestly never knew how he got so much stock in such a small space. remember feeling boss after donning a pair of Adidas Kick from there Saved you the bus fare to town.
Now that takes me back to the late 80s, when we used to do the County Road pub crawl.Starting at the Black Horse, and finishing at the Netley or Oak. before going local by my mates in the Waverley or Granton, or little Solly.
What an magnificent building that was...a grain warehouse that stood on the corner of Strand Road and Regent Road....demolished in the late 60's
And that shunter engine is still on the Dock Road somewhere....... it's now a static display and museum piece... :-)
Queens drive swimming baths.Swim til you were fucked & then jump off the balcony & get lashed out.
Was that before the flyover was built?
