Terrace houses, Anfield, Liverpool
These terrace houses were evidently built with pride, with an ornate eaves cornice of decorated sections moulded to form arches. A pity that there are so many different colour schemes.

Former Presbyterian Church, Oakfield Road
I could not make out whether the building is still in use, but it is certainly no longer a Presbyterian place of worship. The styling of the terracotta facings to the brindled common brickwork is striking and unusual.

Liverpool Lighthouse, Oakfield Road
The former Gaumont Palace cinema, opened in 1931 and closed in 1960. After a variety of subsequent uses, it finally became derelict, but was revived in 2005 to become a gospel-based centre for the performing arts. A fine example of Art-Deco in a semi-classical style, using faience facings for the main facade.

The Sandon, Oakfield Road
This pub can lay claim to being the birthplace of both Everton and Liverpool football clubs, although it is now firmly associated with the latter. The building is a fine example of the most flamboyant style of Art Deco, with the facade created in ornate and colourful faience.

The real Anfield
This is Oakfield Road looking away from LFC. The name Anfield comes from the name Ann's Field. The victorians heavily built on this prominent position which overlooks the city and also the river. Although the present day Anfield is slightly grotty, the area was originally THE place to live.

Salisbury Road, Anfield
A sad image of decayed Victorian suburbia, testament to the reduction in Liverpool's population in recent decades. The further end of the street has already been demolished.
