Liverpool and Merseyside Photographic Memories
The top of the High Street was known officially as Devonshire Place, but the locals always called it Devonshire Square, even though it only had three sides. Our photographer is standing on Doctors Bridge over the Bridgewater Canal, and High Street runs left and right from the top of the square. Both the new high-level road bridge and the old transporter... [more]
