Looking along Parr Street towards Wolstenholme Square with the famous 'nation' nightclub on the right. Although not clear in this photo the black-painted wall on the right is curved suggesting a once grand Georgian building. By 1955 it is recorded as a ruin on the O.S. map, but earlier maps show that there was once one of Liverpool's notorious 'courts' (very poor quality housing) in an alley to the right - also named Blakley Place up to 1864. This website has a description of court living: http://www.discover-liverpool.com/24/section.aspx/3
