I thought I would start a new thread dedicated to pictures of houses and homes in the Liverpool region. I am often inspired by the range of houses and homes available, and also by the interiors that people create, and which reflect their personality, story and experiences.
Today I went to Fulwood Park in Aigburth and then on to Grassendale Park and Cressington Park in L19. It rained towards the end of my little trip and so the quality of some of the shots is not so good.
First of all, I will upload the shots of houses in Fulwood Park - on the face of it the most magnificent of the three gated parks off Aigburth Rd. I went hoping for some uplift and inspiration because I know how magnificent some of these houses are - but sadly, I left feeling depressed.
The contrast between what it once was - with its direct access to the river, and what must have been some of the most fabulous homes in the city when first built, to the feeling of tumble-weed blowing down the streets; decayed and neglected, with poorly partitioned flats, decrepit fencing and walls, and the atmosphere of abandonment. There have also been some new developments which, in themselves, and to some, might represent desirability - but are completely mis-placed in such a grand setting.
There are the type and style of homes you might expect to find in the elevated heights of Hampstead.
