Cliff Hayes – “Liverpool and Merseyside”

 

One of a number of books in the Francis Frith photographic memories series this contains photos from the 19th and 20th Centuries with a useful little annotation about each one. I have made extensive notes from this and they will come in useful as I gradually Blog my way around Liverpool, resurrecting old transparencies from the 1960s and comparing them with more recent photos I have taken.

Martin Jenkins and Charles Robert "Streets of Liverpool"

 

This 2006 hardback booklet should really have been entitled buses and trams of Liverpool as that is what it mainly consists of - every pciture is of a type of tram and bus thpough the authors do their best go make the background streets as interesting as possible.

I was delighted with one or two views because they are the sort which you don't get anywhere else including the route I walked home along Bowring Park Road from Ryebank - long since disappeared (both Ryebank and the route).
