      Old Pictures of Liverpool
      Oct 10, 2009 11:17:01 am
      Feel free to merge if there's already one of these - I couldn't find it.

      Anyway, came across these last night. Kenny, your Mum will love these!

      The Cavern Club, 1961.



      Queuing for The Beatles on Mathew Street.



      The entrance to The Cavern Club.



      Taken from the longest webpage in the world: http://www.lisa-und-georg.de/20560.html

      Stick your old pics of Liverpool up. I can't get enough of them!

      Nice pictures this.

      I'm not from the city but it definitely is going to be interesting looking back at the past on a magnificent city.

      A pity that I don't know the places that were mentioned ^.

      Clayton Square in 1923.



      And 1947.



      And just before demolition in 1986.







      And how it looks today for ROF.

      Ah yeah, ta mate. Knew the Adelphi was round there.

      Looking at it, it hasn't changed too much. Further up on the left is the YM now.

      Clayton Square. Isn't that near the Liverpool Lime St train station and Holiday Inn? If yes, I've been there.

      Love the city. Liverpool One a boss place for shopping as well. Would really love to go back there again. Really can't believe the fact that I've been to a city where some of the greatest football players have stepped on.

      And how it looks today for ROF.



      Was there on Wednesday.

      That part, in my opinion, is probably the worst bit of the City Centre now.
