Old Photos Of Where You Live

Quite a well known area in Belfast, mostly for the wrong reasons. Grew up in this area but the layout had changed by the time i was born.
I would very much like this thread to live a long life.
There’s a lad (sadly a red) called Ged Fagan who has archived this sort of thing by postcode but not date; https://inacityliving.blogspot.com/?m=1
….Astoria, Walton Road;
….Exchange Flags 1910.
This is the road I live on now, this is it in 1912, the horses are pulling the large anchor which has been cast at Hingley's and Co up to Dudley Station to take it to Liverpool docks where it will be attached to the Titanic, this original anchor now bottom of the Atlantic ocean.

…junction of Lime St & London Rd 1910.
….Bootle Village 1906, the year we first won the FA Cup.
Hoping these are ok to add?
At a recent family gathering one member of one branch of our Family is a Family Historian and very kindly shared with me and My old man a Disc (very old fashioned, lol) of over 400 photos dating back as far as 1892, most are family pics and of no real interest to anyone outside the Family but there are a few of Liverpool Locations that I can add if ok?
First one is My dear old Grandad, a real inspiration and a die hard Blue who was lucky enough to have been with the 1933 team when they travelled to and from Wembley, and his fully autographed ticket is on permanent loan to Everton, unfortunately I dont have a picture of it but I'm sure Everton would oblige if I contacted them, he is pictured at Wilmers Printer Co in Birkenhead. I believe from around 1960 ish.
Second one is from Wulstan St, Kirkdale 1940.
The whole collection of pics is a treasure I will hold dearly as it gives so much history for my Family and admittedly not many location ones but as I go through again, if any jump out as having some relevance will add if ok in this thread.

My grandfather, John, front row, in front of the sign. And yes, he does look of foreign extraction - his father, my great-grandfather, was born in Lisbon, Portugal.

My father was sent to music lessons, which he apparently hated. However he must have been pretty decent at it, as around the age of 12, he lad letters after his name. But he never put that ability to any use.
He is seen here with other children of the music class. Given that I said in my previous post that my great-grandfather was from Portugal, it's a no-brainer to pick out my dad on the front row, as he is the one with the southern European complexion compared to the others! Yep, 3rd from tight.

My dad fooling around with a football outside our house in Langtry Road, Kirkdale. On the right is the wall of the 'Kirkdale Homes', or to give it its correct title, Westminster House. At the bottom of the road is Melrose Road, at the top, Rumney Road.
And my dad playing bowls in Kirkdale Rec. The road outside the Rec is North Dingle, and to the extreme right can be seen part of the building of Fonthill Road school.
