The Beatles Story

You'll find these fellows around the Beatles Story Exhibition on the Pier Head Liverpool.

Liverpool Festival Gardens

The International Garden Festival took place in 1984 and attracted  3.8 million visitors .The park was created from industrial wasteland and the idea was to help Liverpool regenerate itself.

After years of neglect volunteers are now trying to regenerate the site.For details visit www.liverpoolfestivalgardens.com

A lovely spot - quiet and peaceful unlike my last visit in 1984 with all the crowds  and attractions.

River Mersey from Otterspool

The River Mersey from Otterspool looking over to the Wirral and I assume Birkenhead.

The promenade at Otterspool is another pleasant place to walk in a summer's evening

National Wildflower Centre Liverpool

We visited the Wildflower Centre a few weeks ago - admission was free because it was early in the season and very few plants were in flower.

You'll find the centre in Court Hey Park.

For details see www.nwc.org.uk

Liverpool's modern skyline

Another view of Liverpool from across the Mersey .. more modern this time.

Not far from the Pier Head.

Royal Iris

A few days away to Liverpool and a considerable number of photographs taken.Many of which I hope to publish over the next few weeks. 

What better way to cross the River Mersey than by the Royal Iris.

Sefton Park Liverpool

Sefton Park on a sunny and warm Sunday morning - very pleasant - lots of people enjoying the sun.

Irwin's Fresh Butter

It's not very often you see an advert on the wall made from coloured tiles.

To be found near Penny Lane.

Near Penny Lane

A pub or wine bar in the vicinity of Penny Lane Liverpool - pleasant place but I never really took any notice of what it was called. As you would expect being near Penny Lane there are lots of Beatles photographs on the walls.

ABC Wednesday - L for Liverpool

I felt that I was running out of suitable photographs to load to my Rambler Blog. So a few days ago, I travelled from Manchester one sunny morning on the train to Liverpool with the intention of taking quite a few photographs of this city made famous by the Beatles.

First problem was that  it was very dull and not the weather for taking photographs -

Second problem - the batteries in my camera failed and  I could only  take two pictures -

and here they are ..........

Near Lime Street bus station looking across the city to the famous Liver Building.

" Somewhere "  behind  Lime Street  railway station near to the Walker Art Gallery.

I shall have to return some time - on a sunny day - and with fully charged batteries ..

Liverpool Parking

Last night we left our car parked overnight in the outskirts of Liverpool  - with the window wide open due to an error

Nothing was stolen - is this a record ?
