Keayman, some great stuff there as usual. Clare Terrace is on Marmaduke St,built in 1830, about the same time as those crumbliing houses on Everton Rd There are more Georgian terraces on:Irvine St Edge Hill, (round the corner from Marmaduke St) Smithdown lane. Back in Canning/city centre, Hope Place, Blackburne Place, Bedford St south, Catherine St and Sandon St !

My earliest memory of Rodney St was when i was about ten or eleven and i had to attend the Asthma/Allergy Clinic there...my mum commenting the houses reminded her of Dublin(where she was born)

No excuses needed for showing more of Liverpool's finest Georgian street.

Can anyone advise me as to why my photos seem to have been removed? They were my own and were uploaded from my photobucket album.

Thanks D-Man. Hopefully people will keep adding buildings such as the great halls like Allerton and Woolton and other buildings in the suburbs.

Jane I can still see your pictures - can you see this? I think the database is a bit faulty recently. I like this one, it's weird and captivating.

Heywood's Bank ,Brunswick St,1798-1800. Not only is this a rare example of a purpose built bank building but also a rare survivor of the original Georgian commercial district. 2) Wellington Rooms, 1816. Currently empty and deteriorating,let's hope it doesn't go the way of St Andrew's Church in nearby Rodney St.

1) & 2) St Bride's, Percy St, 1831. 3) The now derelict St Andrew's Rodney St, 1824. 4) St Peter's Seel St, 1788. Literally keeping a low profile, St Peter's Catholic church was the first building on Seel St, built in 1788. It's probably more than coincidence the church is only two storeyed. There had been catholic chapels earlier in the century which were beseiged by anti-Catholic mobs and had to close.
