Toxteth, July 81

The Royal Court 1947

Toxteth, July 81

Boss photie that, proper ghost town!

Pre War, St Lukes.

The old Overhead Railway through the Strand.

September Road , Tuebrook 1910.. a better pic than previous post.. our house was number 3 (just on the left by gaslight post).
Many amazing memories from growing up in and around this area..

Toxteth July 4/5 1981

Yea.. when you look at the Rozzers uniforms back then compared to these days they where Lambs to the Slaughter...shitty little plastic shields !!  a baton and a pair of air wear..

There was all kinds of carrying on when that bank was fired, it was the only one around there and essential to the community.

Pre War, St Lukes.

To be honest the façade of St Lukes doesn't look dramatically different today, we call it the bombed out church but in fact it was an incendiary bomb meant to burn out and not directly destroy the  structure of the building. There's more structural damage been done by the vandals than the Lufttwaffe.

Sends shivers down my spine this picture, Victorian Sefton Park. Something about it is proper creepy.

Cricket on Lime Street.. Thats a bit odd !!

Yep he sure did Jimsouse67.
He served me in there a few times and used to mumble under his breath or make some camp comment about the obscure Reggae or Blues album I was buying trying to convince me his Nightmares in Wax offering was better... but I suppose he was part of the whole Probe records experience and without him the place wouldn't have been the same..He's a right weirdo now
You're right again mate, Back Tracks was next door, to the right.. another cool place to root through the wooden beer crates and find a rare 7' or two.. then along came the cassette tape !! ha ha.
The Lincoln's Inn Rock Bar up the side street to the left on the same block...Newky Brown nights a plenty !!

Cheers for clarifying that mate,I do remember one of his outfits looked like something he got from a buffalo complete with this mad arse brown fur hat that he must have got from Davy Crockets grave .
Yes back tracks was a quality second hand record shop,I remember hearing it was closing down so pulled a sicky from work  and went down a few days before it closed as there was a few posters I wanted off the ceiling,the guy said I could have them for nothing if I could get them down ,so ran over the road to the hairdressers to borrow a set of ladders that they luckily had.still have the posters to this day.

Thats right mate he looked like Adam Ants cousin..I remember he had a freaky coloured contact lens in one eye as well.. proper odd ball.
Quick thinking there mate with getting them posters off the ceiling.. nice one ..what posters were they?..prob worth a few bob now?
Do you remember the actual Probe paper record bags you got your new album in?...I've still got one of those in my folks attic back home..I remember buying couple o picture discs from Back Tracks..still got those too.. Blondie - Picture this and The Cars - Best friends Girl.. loads o coloured vinyl 7' too..
Good times mate !!

Remember this?..great Photo... Pretty certain this is after he scored the winner against St Etienne.. could be wrong but judging by the utter carnage in the Main stand it looks like to me..what a night..

Boys Pen...match day .... 35p !!

It cost my old man an old sixpence (tanner) for me  when I first went into the Boys Pen in Kemlyn  Road. When they moved the pen into the back corner of the Kop it cost 9 pennies in old  money. From memory I think it was one and six to get into the ground when the pen was moved to the Kop.

a mate of mine took his wife to that match. Afterwards he said he wouldn't take her to another match what was the point after witnessing that it would never be as exciting
