Dalrymple Street

A wonderful shot of Great Homer Street at its junction with Dalrymple Street. Just look at all the different little shops that was a feature of this once golden shopping mile. I love the old Sayers van outside the famous bakery and cake shop. My mother’s Saturday cakes order never deviated as we waited in a constant queue of eager customers: Custard tart,custard slice, blackcurrant tart, trifle, cream bun, Eccles cake . . . all packed up neatly in a box to be consumed as a special treat at teatime on the Sunday. Happy memories of old Everton and Greaty!

Billy Ellis highlighted this fascinating image of lorries queuing up outside the Schofield's lemonade factory in Dalrymple Street. Those were the days.

A remarkable picture of the intact and pristine Schofields Lemonade factory when it was put up for sale in Dalrymple Street. This classic building was well known across the district.

Billy Ellis submitted this remarkable picture of the rubble that was once his terraced house on Dalrymple Street, once renowned for its lemonade factory heaven. Just compare to other images in this set to understand how a street's family houses and an Everton (and Liverpool) factory institution were destroyed by the Sixties clearances.

We were proud to have our own lemonade factory in Everton's Dalrymple Street, the famous Schofields brand name. The factory is sadly seen here during its demolition period. Picture by Kev Thomas.
