Stupid question amnesty, please.

 

What's that huge hideous newfangled silo that can be seen in some pics?

[DeeJay]

Cover for St Johns Precinct car park. Also doubles as a TV screen/advertising display.

Ugly bugger isn't it.

First thing you see when you come out of Lime St station.

It gets even worse if you turn left and walk down Lime St.

Shittiest Street in Liverpool centre.

[Junkman]

Putting multi-storey car parks where multi-cultural live used to thrive appears to be the pinnacle* of creativity* urban planners manage to muster for the past 50 years.  I meant that concrete funnel though:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also, do you have any idea what these are/were?

[DeeJay]

Catholic cathedral (Paddys Wigwam).

Bird houses.

[DeeJay]

Police phones?

[ShiteRider]

Gumball machine?

[Lankytim]

It's a condom machine.

[Cavcraft]

It's a condom machine.

 

 

Mersey goldfish.

[Pete-M]

Dingle jellyfish.

 

By the way, Redfern St is still a shit hole. Not much you can do when it's just an industrial Road in the back waters of Bootle.

[DeeJay]

Most of the Bootle dock rd/Great Howard St is the same.

Just want to say this thread is brill , ive no knowledge of Liverpool and havent even been there since 03 but its still a fantastic read with before and after pics adding to its greatness.

Big thanks from me for taking the time to share these with us all.

Its most appreciated

Oh aye, and it was a waste chemical company that I used to call at too, so no miracles expected. Especially from a couple of incredibly lazy fuckers that worked there!

It's the whole area as you've turned out of the tunnel to get there, along that road with a few shitty looking shops and a pub. 

[dugong]

All of Bootle is a shithole.

I'll lob some more pics up tonight if I get a chance.

Hope you're not getting bored by now!

 

I've got a pretty ambitious AS project similar to this that I'm going to hopefully start over Xmas time but in the meantime I'll crack on with the pics.

Top work again WTC. The cropping is absolutely bob on! I must have spent hours looking over th before and after shots. Fascinating how some streets are basically the same whereas others are totally unrecognisable, sometimes not for the better!!

All credit to the photographer! I simply steal pics off various local history sites I'm a member of, I just copy them throughout the year and save them until I have enough to update this thread.

I go to a scrapper on redfern street, it's hard to tell where it starts and ends .

Not been for a while, is there still that pub on the corner with the roof caved in? think it's called the prince or something.

[ShiteRider]

Strange how in the older pictures everywhere seemed busier, but at the same time a lot less cluttered.

[chaseracer]

And a lot more REAL... 

[sheffcortinacentre]

funny how alot of the newly built concrete offices & tower blocks have gone in the "ow" pics while the older surrounding buildings remain.

also that the small shops if not boarded up are now fastfood joints or offys.

[chaseracer]

And the bigger ones are betting shops... 

[garycox]

I find it quite strange that there are LOADS more cars in (most of) the older pics. Obviously some bits now have restricted/no parking etc, but even the roads in general seem more busy.

Let's fire up the Toledo and take a drive.
