      Images of Liverpool
      Nov 28, 2008 07:04:25 pm
      I was looking through some old topics and found these cracking pics of the city which got me thinking we should have a thread dedicated to showing images of the wonderful city. So get your pics out  ;)

      We have the biggest cathedral in Europe...

      The 3 Graces ...

      Liverpool from the West...

      The Albert Docks...

      St Georges Hall...

      The Roman Catholic Cathedral... Paddy's Wigwam... ;)

      Save the best till last... Anfield, home of the Mighty Reds!

      Beautiful

      I have heard that Liverpool people especially young people are very arrogant and they don't want foreigners so when they see a foreigner in the streets they attack him with knives or something like this.

      I hope its not true....

      That's not true at all. Liverpool is one of the most welcoming cities in the world. You hear so many people say how they love coming back here. Not only that but Liverpool has massive pockets of other areas of the world, we have a huge amount of people from The Carribian, the middle and far east. There's several different churches for nations such as Ireland, Sweeden, Norway and Czech, we wouldn't have built them if we didn't like forigners.

      Nicest people you could meet are the people of Liverpool. Like any city in the world it has problems but I can assure you the stories you have been told are not true. I hope you get a chance to visit Liverpool some time to see for yourself. By the way Goldton I am not from Liverpool so if someone from another place like me can speak so well of Liverpool you now know it is a great place and you shoul tell the people who told you of the "attacks" they are very wrong

      Old disused railway track known localy as the 'rallagh'. It runs right through the city from the south, through the north and then onto Southport. This pic is taken from the West Derby location - which is literally right next to the Bill Shankly Playing Fields and a ten minute walk away from Melwood.



      Here's a pic of when it was in use back in 60's with a steam train running through Broadway, Norris Green - which would have been the next stop after the West Derby one above.



      And this bridge is literally right next to the one above. This is the steel bridge that passes over Utting Avenue - the Road that leads up to Anfield. It's about a 25 minute walk from this bridge and you can see Anfield in the distance from here.



      Croxteth Hall in Croxteth Park, which is in West Derby - right by Melwood. Used to always be here when I was a kid.



      Pathway leading to the hall



      The Royal Liver Building



      The infamous Nation club where Cream used to have their nights, for all you clubbers out there. Just behind those trees and funny looking giant lolliops.



      Mathew St, where The Beatles used to play the Cavern. Very busy night spot.



      St Lukes church, known locally as the bombed out church. Because it was bombed in WW2 but amazingly the outside of the building still remains. The inside of the church is a big garden with trees and flowers etc.



      That'll do for now. I'll have to have a look at what pics I have knocking about.

      Quality pics there Ken, that second one down hasn't changed at all has it ?  Great to see the train on the bridge.  Our Shaw Trust shop is just under the bridge on the right  ;)

      Do you remember the sweet shop that used to be on the right, more or less right under the bridge ?

      'kin'ell Crocky Hall, haven't been there for ages. Lovely looking building, much nicer looking than Speke Hall in my opinion.

      Not as nice however as Tocky's Town Hall.  :f_whistle: This pic is from www.toxtethtownhall.org. uk/

      The other two are from parts of our city centre, known locally as town.

      Two more here, just to show the difference in class between Toxteth (Liverpool) and Halewood (Knowsley) :laugh:

      Both contain me nephew Luke. Toxteth has trees, Halewood just has stolen bikes ;)
