To think, this venue hosted top pop bands in the 1960s - in its conception this was built for the upper classes -

Not so much an old photo but deffo an old building. Architecturally, not everyone's cup of tea I wouldn't have thought but probably worth saving?

Exceptional Liverpool vicarage and hall at risk, society says

…..anybody go to Colomendy as a kid? For those that don’t know, Colomendy was a camp in N Wales frequented by Merseyside school kids. I went once, for pre-season training with Liverpool Schoolboys when we twice had to run up and down the nearby Mau Famau (a mountain you can see from many parts of the city);

I suppose lots of us did. I went once in primary school and twice for geography field trips from secondary school.

The primary trip was my first time away without my family. Had a great time, although the food was grim.

Went there with Anfield Comp, circa 1969.

Be interested to know where that was taken from , there what looks like a church in the background possibly suggesting it’s taken looking up Blue Bell lane towards the church at the top of Blue Bell Lane. But that doesn’t look right because if that’s the case the pub would be on the right.

…..I’d guess it’s taken from Liverpool Rd looking back towards Liverpool and Blue Bell Lane on the left. Not sure if that’s a church on the right but I’d think the one near Huyton Village at the other end of BBL would be further away.
