Cornwall Street


Cornwall Street

Cornwall Street below Netherfield Road South was adjacent to China Street. This demolition image has a strange feel about it with a motorbike and sidecar parked up. Is the owner having one last look at his old house? A small truck is parked behind one of the now derelict houses nearby, checking what remains inside.

  3. Ken Rogers says:
    Cornwall Street during its 1960s demolition phase with the high rise blocks beginning to loom large above Netherfield Road South. Thefamous old lamposts, their tops removed, are a sad sight. They would have once been gathering points for local kids on dark nights.

  5. Ken Rogers says:
    Cornwall Street has seen better days in this 1960s image with demolition going on all around. Brian Rea gives us a fascinating insight into what it looks like now (below).
  6. Ken Rogers says:
    Cornwall Street, once packed and vibrant in the 1950s, is now within the boundaries of the modern Everton Park. It's green, leafy and pleasant, but whatever happened to all those great friends and neighbours? This 'Then & Now' look back in time is by Brian Rea.

    Mrs Reynolds was clearly caught on the hop cleaning outside her front door in Cornwall Street. This picture was originally uploaded to the Netherfield Road Facebook group by Pat Bradley.
  8. Ken Rogers says:
    Cornwall Street knew how to party, especially on Coronation day 1953. Pat Bradley uploaded this picture and the one below to the Netherfield Road & Surrounding Area Facebook group.
