April 27th 2010 - The Crown Vaults

The Crown Vaults Public House in the Everton Brow area has been there for well over a hundred years, and now it's up for sale. Let's hope it remains open and keeps its traditional look. If you look very closely you can see the Everton supporting 'Toffee Lady' and Liverpool 'Kopite' fan on the pub's front. These two characters appeared at the top of the city's football results newspaper, the 'Pink Echo', on a Saturday night. Unfortunately, the 'Pink' has stopped being printed as a separate paper on Saturdays. The two people waiting at the bus stop remind me of the two said characters.

April 18th 2010 - Anglican Cathedral From Everton Brow

Another early morning start - once again, I had planned to photograph the rising sun, but this image of the cathedral took me aback. An absolutely stunning shot of the tower emerging out of the mist rolling in from the Mersey. It has since clouded over; it was certainly the best part of the day.

February 22nd 2010 - Liverpool Skyline from Everton Brow

Mid afternoon sun rays shining down on a cold Liverpool. This photograph was taken from Everton Brow, where there are great panoramic views of the city. St. John's Beacon, now known as 'The Radio City Tower', can be seen to the left, with the Liver Buildings and Beetham Tower also visible overlooked by the snow capped mountains of North Wales in the distance. (Image best viewed magnified).

January 13th 2010 - Everton Water Tower

Awoke to yet another fresh blanket of snow in Liverpool. Took this black and white image of the Grade 2 listed Water Tower on Everton Brow. Great views of the city from the top of the Brow (not today though - far too misty). I like the juxtaposition of the old and the new buildings in this scene and the fact that something as standard as a water tower is built in such an impressive and imposing style, with great attention to architectural detail.
