Chiiwala, Myrtle Street. Lomo LC-A+. Ilford HP5 Plus (developed at 1600.)
Chiiwala claim to have their origins in 1920's India. The store on Myrtle Street is a relatively new addition to the area and I visited last month for something different to eat.
Their siganture drink is Karak Chaii of which I was offered a taste as the lady behind the counter knew this was my first visit. Despite this I decided on the mint tea and a breakfast which consisted of beef sausages, baked beans and an omlette.

Philharmonic Hall. Lomo 135BC. Expired Truprint 200.
The current Philharmonic Hall is the second building to occupy the site on Hope Street. It was built in the "Streamline Moderne" style and work commenced in 1937 after a compromise with the Liverpool Corporation who initially wanted a multi-purpose venue. It is a grade two listed building.
Today it hosts comedy and popular music shows in addition to being the home of the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic music society.

Experiment 625. Fed 4. Ilford XP2.
Experiment 625 is sandwich, coffee shop and bar on Lark Lane. It is named after a character in the Disney movie "Lilo and Stitch" and serves some rather tasty New York style sandwiches.
When i visited the sun was shining but the weather was cold so a nice cup of coffee was just what I needed. I will definitely be returning to work my way through the menu. The selection of beers also seemed impressive. I made a mental note to return for am evening.

Picton Road Clock Tower. Fed 4. Ilford XP2.
The Clock Tower on Picton road was built in 1884 and designed by James Picton as a memorial to his wife Sarah Polley (to whom a dedication adorns one of the three plaques at the base of the tower.)
It was quite a dull day when i set off to take these shots and i was glad to have a 400 iso film loaded in the Fed 4.

Strawberry Field gates. Nikon F65. Expired Kodak 400.
Strawberry Field was a children's home operated by The Salvation Army up until 2005. It was opened to the public in 2019 and now consists of a shop, cafe and training centre.
The gates which stand on Beaconsfield Road have been a tourist attraction and place of pilgrimage for some years due to the Beatles song.
When io visited I was unable to go into the new facility due to a private function so all i could photograph was the gates.

92 Degree Coffee, Hope Street. Lomo LC-A+. Ilford HP5 Plus (developed at 1600.)
Hope Street was the first branch of 92 Degree Coffee I became aware of. Over the years they have expanded and I feel quite at home in all of their venues.
Whilst on a walk with the specific intention of taking photos for this here blog I stopped for a cup of their batch brew. There where a few cute dogs keeping their humans company (something that is not allowed in Costa) but I only managed to snap one.

Klopp artwork, Jordan Street. Lomo 135BC. Expired Truprint 200.
To say that Jürgen Klopp has been a successful manager for Liverpool FC would be an understatement. He was the first to deliver a Premier League title and has lead the reds to two Champions league final. News that he was going to leave at the end of this season was unexpected.
This street art tribute was created by graffiti artist Aske in 2018 is situated on the corner of Jordan Street and Jamaica Street in the Baltic Triangle.
