Ice floes on Southport Beach in 1955...must've been one of the rare times that the water actually came in.
tbh I have seen the water right up to the roundabouts on the coast road in the early 80s

Looking up the steps to Garston Hospital...or The (typhoid) Fever Hospital as it used to be called on old maps.
The Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine ( the first in the country iirc) had a small annexe there to cater for Tarantula bites from unloading bananas at the docks...by the time you could get the guy into town he'd be dead

Must've been a nice little spot back in the day.

I had a grandfather in that strike - they were charged by coppers on the steps of St Georges Hall when hundreds ran at them from Lord Nelson Street. Bloody Sunday that day was called.
