The Building of AlderHey Childrens Hospital

We watched it grow in stature and marked its progress with photos.

Dovecot Shops

Dovecot shops have changed a lot since I was a youngster. I cannot remember a shop being boarded up or to let or empty, Dovecot was a thriving community of life and people.

Some Stalwarts Remain strong.

As far back as I can remember Harrisons has been part of the Dovecot Shops parade ground, and is still going strong. We used to buy our school uniform badge and our ties from here, both Junior and
Senior school ties and badges.

Good to see that Sayers Bakery has survived, many of these have been closed down but this one survives. Let's hope this one stays firm on this parade for a few more years. From pies to cakes, and as the sign says, "So Fresh we're Famous"

The Holy Spirit Church, the hub of all communities one time a go. Sunday still has a reasonable congregation, probably not as many as used to go to church, but still enough to keep the church open. They have just been appointed a new Vicar, will comment when we find out more about her.

Welcome

Welcome to the Dovecot Photoblog

We hope you will enjoy as much as we have enjoyed putting it together for you.

I was born in Dovecot, I went to school in Dovecot I live on the fringe of Dovecot and I am
proud of my heritage and "grass roots"

Dovecot has seen many changes, both financially and structurally.

Some things changed for the better, others were no longer viable or accessible and hard
to get to, with great sadness we lost our beloved Library, but oh boy those concrete steps
well, I don't miss them. We have a small library, but it's nothing compared to our old
Stone relic.

Below old Entrance to the Library through those steel grey doors, they used to be wooden years ago.
