Liverpool in a City Living
By Ged Fagan
This book concentrates on the tenement blocks
that were so prevalent in Liverpool from the 1930s onwards, particularly those
on the fringe of the city centre itself. Many thousands of families were moved
from slum ridden courts and terraced cellar properties to these luxurious new
Art Deco apartments complete with hot and cold running water, Electricity and
Gas, indoor toilet/bathroom and verandas. A factual and pictorial record
of the Gerard Gardens and surrounding area and its close proximity to the grandeur
of the neo classical buildings of William Brown Street.
