Fairy Glen

The Fairy Glen is in Sefton Park, Liverpool. It is a most tranquil place traditionally used since Victorian times by courting couples. It is said to be haunted by two lovers from those days, who return every 14th February. This was taken on a beautiful sunny spring morning (19th April 2010) almost deserted and all so very peaceful.

Ye Cracke, Rice Street, Liverpool.

Built 1852 as Ruthin Castle but always nicknamed Ye Cracke so the name stuck and was changed. Much loved by artists poets and musicians. Once often the haunt of John Lennon, The Liverpool Scene and Scaffold. This pub oozes character and sells a fine selection of Real Ales.

Leeds Liverpool Canal, Bankhall.

In contrast to all the new and refurbished places in the city this remains an echo of when the canal was very much a commercial link. I converted the shot to monochrome to add a liitle feeling.

St James's Mount Cemetery

This is the cemetery beneath Liverpool Cathedral. It can be a most peaceful place but as the daylight fades can also be most eerie.

Dominion.

Opposite Canada Dock in Bankhall stands a now derelict pub called the Dominion, once the haunt of Dockers and seamen. On the roof stands this figure looking out over the docks and Mersey. I always thought the figure depicted a sailor but the zoom lens shows him to be probably a woodcutter. I thought I'd better take the picture (22nd March 2009) whilst he still remains as the poor chap's future must be in serious doubt. POE regular Ruth (see her comment) is put in mind of Paul Bunyan the mythical lumberjack, who needed three storks to deliver him as a baby! Given that the Dominion faces the Liverpool Docks, famous for it's Trans-Atlantic trade links it could well be him. If so "he's a lumberjack and he's okay". Thank you Ruth.
