Everton Brow

The Acacia Dance Academy. This rare photograph shows this old dance venue. It was very popular in the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s. It closed c1950 and was then used by the Corporation for storage until demolition.

Ladies on Everton Brow wait expectantly for the kids to pass in a typical May Procession when we all dressed up.

A classic snow image of Everton Brow, looking up towards Netherfield Road and with the tower in Everton Park beyond. This image came from the Netherfield Rod Facebook platform.

Looking down Everton Brow

The well known Netherfield school building at the top of Everton Brow. Were parts of the building used by the Friary and Salisbury schools? Perhaps someone can clarify.

Everton Brow looking up towards the Lock-Up Tower with John F. Kennedy Heights to the right.

THEN: A fine view from the steps on Netherfield Road that split the Lock-Up Tower with the former Everton Toffee Shop site. The camera is looking across at Everton Brow from where, below, you will see a fascinating modern image looking in the other direction up towards the steps.

NOW: Looking up the hill towards what is now one of the main entrances to the modern Everton Park, this shot from Everton Brow shows the familiar steep steps between the late 18th Century tower and the old Everton Toffee Shop site on Netherfield Road. My thanks to the individual who captured this image, first uploaded onto the Netherfield Road Facebook platform.

The East Dispensary that stood at the bottom of Everton Brow.

The Prince Rupert Public House formerly Halliday's Everton Coffee House. photographed in the mid sixties. It was one of the oldest pubs in Everton and sadly long gone.

Fantastic shot of Everton Brow from the Tower steps above Netherfield Road South.

A sharper picture of the Walker's pub that once stood at the top of Everton Brow on Brow Side. You can see the large houses on Rupert Lane going off to the left with Village Street straight ahead. The pub actually stands on the site of the ancient Halliday's Coffee House where, in the 1800s, much of the Everton Village business was done. For instance, James Atherton met at the Coffee House as he planned the building of St George's 'Iron Church'. Those using the Coffee House could not have imagined that in the 21st century, every city centre street would be serving an array of posh - and sometimes bewildering - coffee options. Make mine a flat white, in other words with no frills on top!

Everton Brow 1920s

Jose McLoughlin describes the background to this wonderful picture. He says: “My mam was Teresa Maxwell of 74 Everton Brow, born in December 1917. She married my dad in 1941 at SFX Church, and we lived at 58 Shaw Street. She died when I was six, but before she left she passed on to me her love of music. She has been in every note that I've played ever since. I love you mam.” Jose is now living ‘Down Under’ but has great memories of Liverpool and particularly the area around Everton Brow. Any old friends of his might be intrigued to know that these days he is very much a respected elder of the Australian music community. In the thirty years that he has lived in Australia, he has performed in every conceivable music situation, including being a member of some of this country's top bands. He has composed music for television, radio, film and even the Theme for the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games. Jose lives in Brisbane and is a lecturer in music at the Queensland Conservatorium, Griffith University, as well as still being very active as a guitarist/singer/songwriter. He says the roots of his musical activities will, however always be indelibly linked to my upbringing in Liverpool and in particular to the Mersey scene of the 1960s. He says: “This, in retrospect, was my 'university training' and it has stood me in good stead all my life.” Your mum will be looking down on you, Jose, extremely proud of your musical achievements. Thanks for that classic childhood image.

Prince Alfred on Everton Brow

I'd love to find some photos of the old Georgian houses on the west side of Everton Brow, particularly those close to the corner of Watmough Road. On the 1824 map, not many of these were built. But the 1836 map attached, they were all built on that side of the road.
