@guardianartbot Hi Jonathan, I've just aquired a portfolio of works bought at a charity sale at Liverpool University C1986. They include some TE woodcuts and other prints associated with Turkish Tails but it also includes a painting and sketches which I'd like your opinion on.

@angiesliverpool This is the modern 'story' but I'm trying to find out if it is based on any historical fact.

[Little Alan @AskLittleAlan]

@angiesliverpool Does anyone know the true story behind the legend of the Valentine's Ghosts associated with the iron bridge, Sefton Park?

The #LiverpoolSailorsHome gates were returned to #VisitLiverpool in 2011 thanks to @AveryBerkel and @GrosvenorEurope who paid for restoration & costs of moving the listed structure following the closure of Avery's Smethwick Site & its Historical Museum, the gates home for 60 yrs.

[Little Alan @AskLittleAlan]

@LiverpoolVista @RachelEarley12 The location of the gates were well known as they were a listed structure. The reason the Sailors' Home Gates came back to Liverpool in 2011 is that Avery's site (Including Museum) was closing, so Avery and Grosvenor made funds available for full restoration and relocation.

@HarveyArchaeo I've been researching their history since the 1980's its amazing where these railing sections tuned up. They were cast at Pooley's Foundry in Liverpool's Haymarket which was demolished for the entrance to the first Mersey road tunnel: https://t.co/xqJKIbE1wB

@Mikeashworth12 @BeautyOfTranspt Pooley, but not a weighbridge. Gates of the Liverpool Sailors' Home, 1852, returned to Liverpool in 2011 after sixty years in Smethwick at Avery, which had absorbed Henry Pooley and Son in 1913, though the business continued to trade as Pooley.

[Little Alan @AskLittleAlan]

@LiverpoolVista "all that remains are the restored Pooley Gates" Another correction, there are many bits of architectural salvage from The Sailors' Home in Liverpool and around the UK. The gates were sold back to Pooley's/Avery when they had to be removed in 1951 and returned to Liverpool 2011.

No wonder @LivEchonews isn't being taken seriously any more, when they send out these ridiculous 'click-bate' stories on social media.

@LivLocs Has Funny Girl wrapped in Liverpool? I'm trying to get a gig for my 1960's Mini Moke. It's a Carnaby Street classic!

[Little Alan @AskLittleAlan]

@trevorbmbagency Hi Trevor, I see that Midas Man is back in Liverpool. Who can I talk to about getting my iconic 1960s Mini Moke onto the production? It's garaged in Liverpool and in original condition. (A Moke features in John Boorman's first feature in '64.)

[Little Alan @AskLittleAlan]

@midasmanmovie I'm trying to get my 1960s Mini Moke onto this production if possible. It's Garaged in Liverpool and has been used in other productions.

[Little Alan @AskLittleAlan]

@angiesliverpool This is the modern replica which I'm told is less detailed than the original but its good to know that the area covered is the same from the picture in The Story of the Mersey Tunnel (Queensway).

[Little Alan @AskLittleAlan]

@angiesliverpool Season Greetings! Does anyone have a good photograph of the original mosaic Queensway Tunnel Map? My friend's great uncle worked on it and has been searching for an image for years. There is new less detailed mosaic near the entrance now but the original is lost

[Little Alan @AskLittleAlan]

@tunneltouralis1 @angiesliverpool Excellent! I'll pass it on.
