334-338 Smithdown Road, Liverpool
Aka Holyoake Hall. Built for the Co-operative Society in 1914 and featuring lots of terracotta and fussy stone detail.
Mostly occupied by TriBeCa, a bar and pizzeria, which has failed to weather the various storms since this photo.

Dovedale Towers, Dovedale Road, Liverpool
An eccentric building, the entrance tower is downright weird, with a complicated building history. Grove House was built for A.G. Kurtz, an alkali manufacturer and art collector, probably in the 1830s. In 1870-71 he had it enlarged and commissioned Charles Hermann to carry out the work. It was a decision Kurtz regretted, writing that, "I feel rather sorry that I have had it altered ... everything [Hermann] takes in hand has a look of being overdone."
It has been a pub for several years.

Penny Lane
In a scene pleasingly reminiscent of the Beatles song, a sunny day on Penny Lane outside the chinese laundry and Wiggins' Hair Centre.

Penny Lane, Liverpool 18
Street name sign that doesn't really need a description, perhaps only to wonder what it is about writing our names like this. People have been carving their names or initials on trees for hundreds of years. This piece of urban wall inscription perhaps gives the writers a bit of immortality, or gets them a bit closer to their heroes.

Penny Lane road sign, Liverpool
Needless to say, a Paul McCartney song was named after the street.
