Does anyone have a photo of Powell Street?

My gran used to live there, I remember the outside loo and it backed onto the playing fields which were used by Bidston Avenue school which I went to. Remember being thawed out after freeze cold football games in the tiny terrace house.
Powell Street was flattened to make way for a new development, it used to join up with Tollemache Road.

Thank you

There's a real danger that the left will drag Britain back to the 1970s, with secure well-paid jobs, ample housing, properly-funded NHS and social care, free tuition, student grants, final salary pensions, affordable rail fares and fabulous films and music. David Osland 2025

Thanks for the photo - They were a tough place to live in. Tiny cramped, no bath, outside loo. Thanks again
