The pictures of Liverpool shown here in the late sixties,early seventies remind me of Christmases past spent with my family. As a treat my dad would load us up into our often frozen rattly old car and wrapped up, my sisters and I would be driven around a pre pedestrianised Liverpool to marvel at what to a young Thud was a fantastic show of lights and glitter. There was something about driving around on those cold nights in the company of my family that has stuck with me (my sisters too) and I now in turn love to drive my children around to see peoples Christmas lighting creations....and so it goes.

I see your not allowing any ice skating on the iced up lake Brimstage, shame that, a cd player with a big set of speakers you would do well, Church st and Bold st, used to be nice, but the city council killed going to the city centre with London car-park prices, not been to Liverpool for two or more years and don't have any intentions of paying the tunnel fee's on top of the car parking fee's, everything I need the out of town shopping is easier and cheaper.
was it parking ...or was it broken down cars ? used to be common in those days..
hard to say, the camera doesn't capture the piles of bricks under the nearside of the vehicles on the left.
H, my dad was a busy in those days, no robbed cars on his beat.
Liverpool looks great, I can remember it like this. Just spotted C&A on Church Street :)
