St John the Baptist Green Lane 2011-08-_00003
Made by Robbin_3
The Church of Saint John the Baptist, Liverpool, is on the corner of West Derby Road and Green Lane, in Tuebrook, Liverpool. It is a Grade I listed building and an active Anglican parish church in the diocese of Liverpool, the archdeaconry of Liverpool and the deanery of West Derby. The church was built between 1867 and 1870, its cost of £25,000 being totally met by the wife of Rev. J. C. Reade. The architect was George Frederick Bodley. The interior was redecorated in 1910 by Henry Hare to Bodley's design. This was restored in 1968–71 by Stephen Dykes Bower. There was controversy before the church was consecrated because Bodley intended to use an early 16th century altarpiece from Antwerp which had carved tableaux of the Passion as the reredos. However the Bishop of Chester considered it to be too Popish and he refused to consecrate the church until it was removed. The altarpiece is now in St Michael's Church, Brighton. The church is built in red and buff stone, which is irregularly banded. The main roof is tiled, while the roofs of the aisles are of slate. Its plan consists of a five-bay nave with a clerestory, north and south aisles under lean-to roofs, a west tower, a north porch, a chancel with a chapel to the north, the organ loft to the south and a detached vestry connected to the chancel by a short passage. The tower has angled buttresses and a west entrance above which is a three-light window. The top stage has two-light louvred bell-openings and a panelled parapet with pinnacles at the corners. The spire is recessed on an octagonal base containing gabled two-light openings and it is attached to the pinnacles by flying buttresses. At the south east corner of the tower is a lean-to stair turret. The porch has a flat roof with a parapet and a niche over the entrance containing a statue.


Project 365 #154: 030609 Take It Away!
Made by comedy_nose
Following on from Asda yesterday, this is another cheeky shot of one of my regular haunts. This is 'Chopsticks' aka 'Jimmy's' and it's where I go for my Chinese takeaway. There are literally hundreds of these little backstreet chippys dotted all around Liverpool, and what makes them distinctive is that just about all of them carry a very full Chinese and Cantonese menu. It's not restaurant quality, but it's close, and with meals with rice coming at just under a fiver it's superb value for money. Strangely enough, I've had dishes from Jimmy's and the same dishes from expensive restaurants, and whilst I recognise that the more expensive one is invariably better quality it's not always as enjoyable. That said, I prefer cheap wine to expensive wine as well, so I guess I'm just a sleazy date. ;)


Malborough Road, Tuebrook
Made by Liverpool Suburbia
This part of Tuebrook was built at different times. If you look to the right, large Victorian villa’s can be seen, possibly dating from the 1870’s or thereabouts. Then, if you look to the left, there is a terrace of red brick housing which would date from around 1890-1900. This could hint how Tuebrook’s attractiveness to the affluent members of society started to diminish once Liverpool started to spread out of its boundaries. Once, this would have been a sleepy side road set amongst fields, with the lower classes living elsewhere in places like Kirkdale. However, once urban development started along West Derby Road, the affluent would have decided to move further out themselves to, for example, West Derby or Broadgreen. The same occurred in Anfield


Osborne Road, Tuebrook

Originally, this would have been one of the must have addresses in the city. The quality of the housing is quite high what with the ground floor bay windows, the first floor windows being a set of three and then the rounded windows on the second floor. These properties are different is appearance considering they are narrow at the front, before broadening out at the rear. It is best to look on at a aerial photograph to understand what I mean! maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=Osborne Road Liverpool&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wl Look at the properties near to West Derby Road.


Project 365 #84: 250311 The Neighs Have it
Made by comedy_nose
It was the funeral today and all went well. The service was nice, though for me the most moving words came from my Nan's (and my) GP, who not only turned up but also gave a warm and sincere address. How many people could say that about their GP? He's a legend. The journey to the church took a little while because although the limousines were powerful the hearse only had two horsepower. They were magnificent though. One was called Rudy and the other Prince something but I can't remember what. By the time we reached Prescot Street they were sweating! Still, all done, and a big thank you to all those close to me who have been so thoughtful and supportive - you know who you all are. :)


Project 365 #288: 151011 Ooh, Cheeky!
Made by comedy_nose
Tonight was a surprise party for Mike's 30th, which in fairness isn't for over a week. This was the date that was needed to surprise him though! The day was spent hard at work preparing food, which seemed to hit the spot in both quantity and quality. One of the interesting features at the party was this rather curious ice sculpture. I don't know what you can make out from the photo, but you might get a pair of shapely arse cheeks. It was a female torso (think Venus de Milo, sans head) but with the additional of a couple of funnels in the top piped to spouts in the nipples. Yeah, really. She was a bit cloudy at first but cleared up nicely once she started to melt a bit.


Project 365 #104: 140410 Rising Star
Made by comedy_nose
You'd think that I'd learn, wouldn't you? Only yesterday I complain about big red flare artifacts and then I go and do the same thing today. I was out the house really early to give my old man a lift to Warrington Station so that he could go and catch a special steam train. The sunrise was exquisite in lots of places, but really nice on my way down West Derby Road in Tuebrook. This was taken from the car, so the framing isn't ideal and the lamp posts are in the way, but I like it anyway. I might get around to trying to edit out those bloody awful 'pawnbroker sign' blotches, but a cruciform flare over a church is too nice not to see the light of day.


West Derby Road, Tuebrook.
Made by Liverpool Suburbia
One side of West Derby Road still stands after the other side and part of the adjoining streets were pulled down to widen the road. West Derby Road (formerly called Tewbrook Lane before mass development) was a rather narrow route out of the city. When Cantrill Farm was built, it was decided that there was a need to widen West Derby Road so that it would be able to take the increased influx of traffic. This was carried out in the 1960’s where destruction was the key. It is a shame that West Derby Road was never fully re-built but it could also be a good thing as I dread to think how grotty it would have looked by now.


Project 365 #307: 031109 Night Of The Road
Made by comedy_nose
Not a very exciting one at all tonight. I've had a little bit of running around to do as I had to pay a visit to my Nan's. She broke her hip at the weekend but has had successful surgery, which is good. I had to go to her house to measure a few things so that the Occupational Therapist can devise a recovery programme for her. This was one of the very few occasions when I was in the car and not driving, so I whipped out the compact and took a random windscreen shot. Like I said - not too exciting. But then it is a reflection of a year of my life...which also isn't too exciting ;)


Marlborough Road, Tuebrook.
Made by Liverpool Suburbia
Yellow Engineering Brick has been used well when building these semis. They were designed to be airy and so large windows were used where possible. One example is the space around the arched door. That could have been bricked up and had a nice decoration put in but instead, glass was used to effectively light the vestibule. Look at the house behind the pink van; and now look at the window on the upper floor above the door. The window has been dressed with a terracotta arch which had some nice decoration moulded into it. This is something that modern house builders always overlook.


Project 365 #78: 190311 No S**t Sherlock!
Made by comedy_nose
Laura was on a night tonight, and at the weekend they start at 8 o'clock. At 8 o'clock on a Saturday night, I certainly didn't plan for match traffic! I should have though - the Everton game didn't kick off until 5:30pm (thanks Sky!) which meant that we came out into heavy match traffic. I sped up to the Hospital main entrance as the seconds ticked up to eight o'clock, so Laura was probably only a minute or two late, but she'll hate that as she's never late. Let's hope I'm on time picking her up in the morning!

Church of Saint John the Baptist, Tuebrook, Liverpool. This wonderful Grade I listed building was open for Heritage Weekend last year, only just sorting my pics now for flickr. Built between 1867 and 1870 by the architect George Frederick Bodley. The interior was redecorated in 1910 by Henry Hare to Bodley's design and later restored in 1968–71 by Stephen Dykes Bower (best known for his work at Westminster Abbey). The church is built in red and buff stone, which is irregularly banded


Project 365 #157: 060611 Fanfare For A Swedish Peasant
Made by comedy_nose
I think every time Laura and I walk through the park and see a load of daisies we say to each other 'let's take a photo'. So we plant our cameras on the ground and see what comes out in focus. Today, we walked down to Greggs to get a butty for lunch, and I munched mine in the park on the way home. Whilst there, we passed some daisies, and I got one nicely in focus, so here's my tribute to the Swedish Peasant! (Long story, she's neither Swedish nor a peasant).


Somerset Place, Tuebrook.
Made by Liverpool Suburbia
This is actually a cul-de-sac comprising of around 8 villas and will have been quite an upmarket development when first built back in the mid 1800’s. Tuebrook was still a reasonably rural place at this time with the developing city of Liverpool just a tram ride away. West Derby Village (set in rolling fields) was also just a small distance away on foot which made living in Tuebrook all the more attractive as it was truly semi-rural.


Clifton Road, Tuebrook.
Made by Liverpool Suburbia
This road is quite special for me as it is where my great grandparents lived. They got married at St Mary’s in Walton which will have been set amongst more rolling fields and small bumps. Now, the land between here and there has been built upon and is very much urban. However, roads like Clifton Road still retain some air of rural identity and it is easy to imagine the vast expanses of open pasture being just a short distance away.


Victoria Road, Tuebrook.
Made by Liverpool Suburbia
The last image saw Victoria Road from its bad side but infact; it is rather pleasant as you look further toward West Derby Road. The terrace on the left (and on other side of the tree) was built between 1900 and 1910 with the streets running off being built at different points in time during that decade. On the right are pleasant villa housing which will have been built here originally on the urban rural fringe of Tuebrook.


Project 365 #92: 020411 A Host...
Made by comedy_nose
Yeah, you know what it's a host of. I took new car for an MOT today, and whilst it failed, it was only on some bulbs and a ropey handbrake, so hopefully a new handbrake cable should sort it. Having dropped the car off at the MOT station I walked back through the park past this throng of daffodils. I was going to take something else, but I looked at the clock and it's quarter to one - too late! So the daffs stand. :)


Project 365 #85: 260310 When I'm Cleanin' Bus Stops
Made by comedy_nose
This is one of those things that is a bit like my milk arriving on my doorstep at 4:30 in the morning. I know it happens and there's nothing mysterious about it, but I've never actually seen it. This is a bloke cleaning a bus shelter with a jet wash. I'm sure he must spend all day doing this, but I've never seen him at work before. I think I only caught him today as we were on an early shift. :)

For those who don't know, old Cinemas (and I think some new ones if I recall the Showcase in Derby) use metal lettering (usually red) on white boards which can be changed with relative ease when different films are shown. This letter 'A' sits amongst the rubbish of more recent visitors (and not so recent either judging by the cigarette packets lack of warning signs).


Clifton Road, Tuebrook.
Made by Liverpool Suburbia
Housing along here is mixed which means that this wasn’t built as one large Victorian estate (like Somerset Place). I like the house on the immediate right. The mixture of brown, black and yellow bricks compliment each other a lot and look all the better with age. The semi in the middle is likely to be newer than the rest of the buildings pictured here.
