Fabulous Mickey. Thank you very much. Taken from Seymour street and you have my house in full photo. Second up on the right as you look at it. Behind the person is the old chapel and when I was a kid, that street light was gas.
Where did you get it from or is it an old family photo?
Thanks Mickey. Really appreciate you uploading this for me. Any idea at all of the year it was taken?
Helles, which house is number 1 ?
I love that someone is stood in the doorway first house on the right looking straight at the camera.
Would this photo have been taken from another house as the view is quite high up?
Number one is the first house to the left of the girl (?) who is holding a child. On the right of the photo as you look at it. First sandstone one. It was taken from Seymour street which was up a higher level but had a large wall to stop one falling over.

My brother tells me that this was a newspaper photo from Wallasey News when they were trying to save the place from demolition. Would be early seventies then.

Wonder if I could still get a copy of the article?
They used to keep bound copies of all the original old Wallasey News papers at Earlston Library. Even if they don't have the actual paper now they will have it on microfilm and you can print off any parts of it that you might want.

Well the library has all the old newspapers on film and you can copy articles from them for a quid I think? Depends on quality I suppose? Would have to trawl through 73 to roughly 76 approx!
Bit of a coincidence, but I met a lovely girl called Donna yesterday who was born in The Avenue!
Doesn't ring any bells but could have been a child when I left? The more I look at that photo the more I think it is my wife and first born in it. We would have had to have been on leave from the army though and it would be about 1974?
