This picture is of a wall adjacent to Riverside Bowls and Lazerquest. Anybody know why there are jutting out bits?? Did it support something at one time?
Those in the photograph look as if they have had beams or joists resting on them to support a floor/ceiling. Probably sandstone, not overly decorative but decorative enough to remain on show. Likely to be twice as much again of what's showing inserted into the wall/ pillar.
The Palace was a bit further along, Wally. I'm not sure what the building with the corbels was, I reckon it was about where the google map is marked red. Front on Marine Promenade?
Possibly Bert, but your map is showing New Brighton Pool top left. I was looking at the older 1899-1900 1:10,560 OS map of Cheshire (on Old Maps website) and that showed the Old Palace extending as far as between Windsor St/Waterloo road. So I thought that the wall in question could be the back wall of some part of the Old Palace complex which seems to have had several different components. I'll see if I can find a larger scale map on line.
I think this spot between Windsor St and Waterloo Rd could be the back corner of the Old Palace. The old wall runs from the New Palace along the back of the Bowling Alley to this corner.
The Domed building was the Pavilion and held amongst other things, a Menagerie and Quinnetts Grand Circus. If the buildings that stand there today are the buildings that were there around 1900, the building with the apex roof(red arrow) must be a possibility.
