Books of Photographs

[MaryA]

Thanks to the wonderful generosity of our ex Liverpool Group Chairman, Len Murphy who knew that we are often requested copies of photographs of old streets and views of Liverpool, he has given me a couple of books with many photographs of them - unfortunately there are no proper indexes to these but I will list some from one book and areas covered by the other, maybe adding to the lists as time goes on, won't promise.

If I get in trouble with copyright for this I will have to delete.

The Streets of Liverpool - a Photograph Record by Colin Wilkinson C Editions Limited, Bluecoat Chambers.
