This is the address that could be seen on the side of every Liverpool Corporation bus, and indeed on buses of the PTE until it was broken up. It was the head office of the Liverpool Corporation Passenger Transport department, and still houses Merseytravel, the coordinating body for public transport on Merseyside

24 Hatton Garden, detail
The offices of the City's Tramways department were opened in 1907 to the design of the City Architect, Thomas Shelmerdine. Basically classical in design, they show some influences of the Art Nouveau movement. The building is still the headquarters of Merseytravel, which is the direct successor to the City Transport department.

Kingsway House, Hatton Garden, Liverpool
Built in 1965-67, the architects Derek Stephenson & Partners. Bands of hammered concrete and mirror glass. Pevsner reports that it incorporates first-floor elevated walkways (visible here) which were then very much in vogue in Liverpool, as they were elsewhere.
It currently houses a number of departments of Liverpool John Moores University.
The large poster on the end wall is an exhortation by the city council and NHS to "Connect, Be Active, Take Notice, Keep Learning, Give", part of "2010 Year of Health and Wellbeing". I need say no more, it satirises itself.

Mural, Dale Street
Screening some seriously run-down buildings. The strange yellow object is a lambanana - there is (or possibly was) a public art statue in this form somewhere near here, symbolising the dangers of genetic engineering (!)

127 Dale Street, Liverpool
Very polished, in every sense of the word. Clean lines and smoothness predominate. The windows alternate with bands of polished granite. By Ormrod & Partners, 1964-65.
Currently it serves as offices for National Museums Liverpool, but was it originally built for Higson's brewery, whose name is etched near the entrance?
