This book covers a period of great change in Liverpool when older properties were demolished without any regard to their importance to the city, often replaced with buildings of little character. A good collection of full-page photographs show what has been lost. Although not area specific, the style of streets, flats and gardens will be familiar to many who lived through this period. If you�ve ever visited any of the �gardens� you�ll recognise instantly the familiar style that existed in all of them; the landings, the playgrounds and the gangs of kids.
