Scotland Road

A fascinating shot looking up the hill of old Everton, taken from near Scottie Road. To get your bearings, what looks like a church with twin towers (top right) was the Anne Fowler Home for Women. The building was originally a Welsh Congregational Church, reflecting the number of Welsh people that 'emigrated' to Everton. Picture researched by Denis Hargreaves.

Denis Hargreaves upload: 1911 Scotland Rd,... showing Thorns Cafe on the left and further down on the far right with the three sun blinds down is Flemings Jeans,....both closed in the 1960s due to the plans for the Kingsway Tunnel and it's loop roads.The photo is taken from St Martins "Paddy's" Market

The famous Flemings jeans store on Scotland Road.

Always good to see some of the little shops on old Scotland Road like Clark's and Elsie's.

Fascinating picture of the block of premises that once stood on 'Scottie' between Silvester Street and Woodstock Street. One shop is is prominently declaring that it repairs 'Artificial Teeth' with a window guarantee that you will have them back within two hours. Next door, spectacle frames are on sale at five shillings. That's your teeth and your eyes sorted. There was a barbers over the road if you wanted to get your hair done, all set again for the weekend!

Another superb colourised image of the impressive former Rotunda Theatre that stood on that familiar triangle of land between Scottie, Stanley Road and Boundary Street. The Rotunda was bombed during WW2 and then demolished, but many people still refer to the site as the Rotunda. Thanks to Mike Pealing for the colourisation.

A wonderful old aerial shot looking across Byrom Street (lower right) which in turn, of course, becomes Scotland Road. You can spend a lot of time looking for the old tenement blocks and churches.

A wonderful picture of the horses and carriages, the taxis of their day, waiting for customers to emerge from the famous Rotunda Theatre that once stood on that well known triangle of land bordered by Scotland Road, Stanley Road and Boundary Street.

Denis Hargreaves explained on the Netherfield Rd & District Facebook: It’s the 1960s and St Martin’s 'Paddy's' Market’ is being demolished on the left. After that is Hawley Street with the Black Bull Inn just past it. The photo was taken outside Flemings Jeans shop. The tower in the distance stands on the corner of Bevington Bush.

People often incorrectly dub the old 'Greaty' open Air Market as 'Paddy's Market' when in fact it was this this smaller enclosed market (St Martin's) on Scotland Road

Nothing like crossing with a 'Bobby' on Scotland Road with the large tenements dominating on the other side of this famous road..

It doesn't take long for a piece of waste ground to become a burned out tip, frustrating for the people living nearby in the Scotland Road area. This is in the shadow of the famous St Anthony's Church (top left). Uploaded to Netherfield Road & S.A. Facebook by Denis Hargreaves.

A fine view down a surprisingly quiet Scotland Road in 1965, picking up St Anthony's Church, the Throstle's Nest Pub and the former tenements that were such a landmark.

Scottie Road in a very different era. A remarkable insight into Everton's famous hill, drawn in 1818 from Great Mersey Street. The fields in the foreground would soon become a concrete jungle packed full of terraced streets. The first mansions seen to the left of the image stand on what is now Netherfield Road North. Indeed, these particular properties would later become the famous Victoria Settlement community centre. Canon Thomas Major Lester, a local vicar at nearby St Mary's Church on Walton Road, a champion for local poor children, lived in one of these elevated villas. His name would later be enshrined in the name of two local schools, Major Street and Major Lester. St George's Church is top centre, then just four years old, having opened its doors in 1814. The villa in front of the church tower belonged to James Atherton, the visionary who inspired the building of the 'Iron Church' and the man who later developed New Brighton as a seaside resort for Merseyside. The hill drops down to the right towards Everton Village. This artist's impression provides a remarkable insight into the Everton of that period with its grand houses and mansions, still very much in the countryside. Within 50 years the densely packed terraced street community I was brought up in would already be sweeping up the hill to dominate this scene. By 1880, my own street, Melbourne, was in place to the left of Canon Major Lester's villa, running steeply between Netherfield Road and St Domingo Road. Have you spotted the stagecoach (bottom left) making its way into Liverpool towards Scotland Road, ignored completely by the cattle in the fields.

A superb early drawing of St Anthony's Roman Catholic church on Scotland Road. Congratulations to the artist whose eye for detail is clearly in evidence. He picks out St George's C of E Church high on Everton ridge (top left) and draws the large mansion in front of it, presumably the home of James Atherton who was the driving force behind the building of the famous 'Iron Church' in 1814. These days, the site of Atherton's hilltop mansion is fittingly the modern Atherton Close,

An interesting shot of another of those three storey Scotland Road blocks, this one containing a sweet shop alongside the former Saddle Inn, one of the many 'Scottie' pubs that were once the heart and soul of this famous road.

A Scotland Road memory from Terry McArdle. He said: My old home, opposite Penrhyn Street, was 287 Scotland Road, 1950—1965. The 4 properties left to right, were: 285 McNivens (Tobacconist and Sweets and later a chippy); 287 Dr Taaffe’s Surgery; 289 Girvans Chemist, later Dr Attwood’s Surgery; 291 Threlfalls Grapes known locally as "The Foot Hospital". Photograph was taken a few weeks before the 4 story flats, now next door to the left, were built.

The Rag ‘n Bone men that once toured the streets of Everton & Scottie Road were like latter day pied pipers, bringing the kids out onto the streets with their familiar cry of ‘Toys for Rags’ – often offering something as simple as a balloon on a stick or a plastic monkey that climbed up and down a tiny plastic ladder. Here is a fantastic picture of one of these ‘tatters’ with his horse and cart. Everlyn Munroe Reay confirmed via Facebook that this is her father and her little brother. She said her father worked so hard for eight kids and was 84 when he sadly passed away in 2015. The horses were kept in Sandhills. In identifying exactly where this is, it could be Vauxhall Road during the demolition period. Denis Hargreaves has suggested that the tower blocks could be Blenheim Tower and Tatlock Tower in between Blenheim St and Tatlock St with the white building behind the horse’s mouth Tatlock Vaults. I wonder if the chimney on the slope to the right in what would be the Scotland Road horizontal line could be the square chimney of the Dalrymple Street lemonade factory which had a tower and a chimney. The tower could have gone at this point.The only other thought is that there was a chimney behind what was the former mill on the west side of Scotland Road although unsure when this was demolished. If anyone can clarify this or has a different thought, please upload a memory, but for now the excellent image sits with the Scotland Road collection.

Happiness was an old sweet shop on Scotland Road, captured in the eyes of these kids and the lady who has just sorted out some delicious treats.

The proprietor of the magnificent new Rotunda Theatre at the junction of Scotland Road and Stanley Road announces the opening of a venue that would be loved by its patrons in the area. The theatre would remain a central part of Scottie Road life from 1879 to 1940 when it was bombed by the Germans during WW2. A picture of the Rotunda can be found further down the photo reel.

A great old photograph of the staff in the Parrot Pub on Scotland Road. The building still stands on the corner of Hopwood Street, but it's been a long time since it has been open to serve a refreshing pint of ale.
