In a city living 3 When my first two books were available at
launches and other events, one of the most asked questions was 'Do your books
have any pictures of so and so?' and 'Do they contain any information on such
and such?'
To meet the demands and aims of these requests, it was
decided to create a definitive record of the 50+ inter-war tenement
developments that were so prevalent throughout the city from Kirkdale in the
north to Speke in the south with those in between at such places as Everton, Edge
Hill, Club Moor, Old Swan, Wavertree, Toxteth and Dingle.
Learn about some of the most influential figures in
Liverpool's history when it comes to sanitation, road layouts, new town
developments and corporation housing. Find out what existed in the locality
before your tenement block and when it was built. See the European influences
from Vienna and Berlin.
Together with another 167 photographs, the vast majority
never before published, book No.3 subtitled - The Tenements is a must read from
whatever part of the city was your stomping ground. Recall too, many of the
games that were played from dawn until dusk in those heady days of never ending
summer holidays when the tarmac bubbled and nothing was nicer than a
Pendleton's twicer.
This book was finally completed and launched on Friday 1st
December 06 at the Scouse Italian reunion night organised by Ron Formby of the
Scottie press and featuring a revamped screening of Paul Sudbury's Gardens of
Stone.
