Liverpool Photos
65Photographs by Richard Cosgrove-Bray
The photographs here are all from Richard Cosgrove-Bray's portfolio of early work, when he was a student taking a B/Tec in photography.
These photos depict a Liverpool which is fast disapearing beneath of wave of much-needed modernisation. The picture quality of some of the original prints has deteriorated a little, unfortunately, but I've tweaked them on my computer to sharpen the images when needed.
We both hope you'll enjoy looking through these images.

Tucked away between Grange Road/Meols Drive and Dee Lane in West Kirby is a small but picturesque oasis of trees, shrubs and formal gardens. - West Kirby Walk
The beach wraps around the Wirral peninsula like a sandy collar stretching some twenty-five miles in length...

wow! I love this. reminds me of some work I did a few years back capturing my home town for a project at college. Some of the things I photographed are now no more.
Thank you for sharing these wonderful black and white photos!! I enjoyed viewing as it brought back memories of when I was thirteen and used to sit on the floor in the middle of the photography isle of the public library and thumb through old Time Life books. That's what inspired me to become a photographer myself,....viewing all the old classics such as Man Ray, Penn, Avedon, Cartier Bresson and many more. Nice Work!! Peace~K
I'm glad you all enjoyed the photos. Many of these places exist only in photographs now, as Liverpool is changing rapidly.
These are some great images, I remember a lot of these places well. Liverpool has changed so much in the last 10 years and beyond recognition since 2008. I understand Birkenhead is next, let's hope they manage to incorporate history with modernisation.
If a person hadn't visited the city for five years or longer, Aiden, they'd struggle to recognise the place. Personally I think the city is greatly improved, though of course not everyone agrees.

What fabulous photos! It's photo-journalism to the core, telling a myriad of stories, one must stop and read every image. I thoroughly love it! Thanks!
