My grandad spent a lot of his earlier years living in Liverpool, before moving away. Well over half a century later, my Dad has started to take pictures of the roads and buildings that would have been very familiar my grandad, to remind him of those times and to see how things have changed.

If you fancy a bit of a look along Liverpool's streets then here's the set, with more pictures to come in the future.

My own comparison is with 2000 when I moved away from Liverpool after spending three years there at university. On the basis of the pictures my Dad has taken, it's not changed one bit. All the change is in central Liverpool, with big developments running aside lots of other changes. I wonder why? The city centre is now crammed with apartments for city living, but less than a mile out these pictures show that old, poor housing being left untouched. It just seems a little out of balance to me.
