June 14th 2010 - World Museum

I tried to recreate one of E Chambre Hardman's photographs which he took from the top of the museum steps. The view has changed slightly but it is still a splendid vista of Liverpool.

June 13th 2010 - Abercromby Square Gardens

Situated in the Liverpool University campus on Oxford Street, Abercromby Square is named after Sir Ralph Abercromby, commander of the British Army in Egypt. He was killed at the Battle of Alexandra in 1801. A favourite place for students and university workers to contemplate the meaning of the universe or to wonder what's for tea.

June 12th 2010 - John Alexander Brodie
This is the house at 28, Ullet Road where Liverpool City Engineer John Brodie lived. He is best known as the designer of the Queensway Mersey Tunnel - but his more important invention, I feel, was the football goal net, which was first used in 1890 in a game between Nottingham Forest and Bolton Wanderers. The idea of the nets came to him while watching a match at Everton FC in 1889 when a dispute erupted over whether the ball had passed through the goal posts or not. He also made several proposals for improving the city's roads, including the scheme for Queens Drive.

June 11th 2010 - World Cup Fever

Not any ordinary street celebrating the start of the Football World Cup, but the very street where England's Captain Steven Gerrard lived. He lived in the house on the right hand side - number 10 Ironside Road, Huyton. The kids playing in the road said 'the cup is coming home 'cause Stevie G is the best'. A really close community ready to cheer the lads on.

June 10th 2010 - Penny Lane

A day early this month because the World Cup starts tomorrow and I have an image in mind.

A few more names appearing, maybe due to the start of the tourist season. Go on get down there and make yourself famous!

June 9th 2010 - Crosby Leisure Centre

The futuristic roof of Crosby Leisure Centre hovering over the sandunes. The centre is home to Sefton's popular annual triathlon which incorporates the beautiful countryside surroundings.

June 8th 2010 - Flat Iron Pub - Anfield
A wet summers day - I had been working nearby this classic traditional pub, 'The Flat Iron', with the backdrop of Liverpool Football Club's Kop stand at the end of the left hand fork, and Anfield Primary school on the right hand side.
