When I had the misfortune to work in Liverpool I was walking up Lord

footway. The moronist's excuse for attempted murder was he was just
trying to keep the traffic flowing.

You failed to provide any evidence to support that far-fetched claim about
"attempted murder". A police report would do.

I know Lord Nelson Street *very* well. I have known it all my life,
because my family (both sides) have residential and other roots in the
area dating from before WW2 right up until the 1970s.

There is no appreciable traffic in Lord Nelson Street. It is a
destination, not a route. Traffic using it cannot make progress since it
feeds back into one-way streets and dual-carriageways with limited
turns. MC's not knowing that led him into the fabrication of his story.

When did you last visit Lord Nelson St?


I was there some time in the late summer of 2019. I haven't been in
Liverpool during 2020.


And has it changed since your aunt lived there?


Lord Nelson Street has been re-engineered (but not widened). Some of
that is to do with the closure of Pudsey Street at its southerly end and
part to do with the siting of a taxi-rank on LNS itself (taking pressure
off the opposite entrance to the station in Skelhorne Street).

Lord Nelson Street was always a reasonable prospect for a short-term
parking space. As you may remember, it was most well known for almost
every house on the north side between Hotham Street and St Vincent
Street being a commercial hotel. This was when the city had only a few
large hotels (the Washington and the Adelphi being the best known, along
with the well-regarded Lord Nelson Hotel in Hotham Street - all handy
for the station).

For example Pembroke Place from Daulby St to Anson St used to be one way, now it is two way.


That is some distance outside the one-way system(s) fed by Lord Nelson
Street. I do, of course, know the Anson Street block quite well.

The former one-way system formed by the upper part of London Road
(eastbound), Daulby Street (southbound) and most of Pembroke Place
(westbound) was always a dog's breakfast. Closure of every north-south
street between Monument Place and Hall Lane meant that it was not
possible to travel north through the area between those points.

I believe Mike Collins.


You are wrong to do so.

Attempted Murder may be a bit of an exaggeration because it was 'Only a motoring offence'.


A rather big "bit of an exaggeration" because it didn't happen.

You can now visit Lord Nelson Street anytime on Google streetview. When did
you last visit?

February. I would have used it to get to work on Friday and would be using it for the same reason tomorrow if we weren't under lockdown. The top end of Lord Nelson St was significantly modified about 20 years ago when Seymour St was changed from dual to single carriageway. Lord Nelson St used to end at St Vincent St but has now been extended. I am guessing this happened after Nugent's aunt moved out. The new footway section beyond the Liner car park is plenty wide enough for a car.

Seymour Street a dual carriageway?

How wide would you say it is between kerbs?


I don't know what is was called before but in the past when you walked from School of Trop Med down Pembroke Place to Lime St Station at the junction where Pem Pl turned into London Road there was a pub on the left and traffic split around it. That was all changed 20+ years ago and Lord Nelson St was part of the change.


Yes, the legendary Swan (now gone of course), at the junction of London
Road and Norton Street with Seymour Street and St Vincent Street (then
part of a one-way system, never a dual carriageway).


Do you now accept Lord Nelson St has changed since your aunt lived there?
Lime Street Station taxi rank has been moved to the other side of the station to Skelhorne St and the Post Office on Copperas Hill has been torn down and redeveloped by JMU (aka Liverpool Poly).
Maybe Mike Collins was telling the truth after all, especially about traffic on Great Newton St.

The change lies in extending the eastern end of the street from its
former terminus at the now-vandalised St Vincent Street to a new
terminus a few yards further on at Seymour Street. The rest of the
street (all of it, as it once was) is the same as it always was in width
terms, plus the extinction of the former turning into or out of Pudsey
Street.

Lime Street Station taxi rank has been moved to the other side of the station to Skelhorne St and the Post Office on Copperas Hill has been torn down and redeveloped by JMU (aka Liverpool Poly).


The taxi rank has been on the south side (inside the station canopy and
also fed from Bolton Street) for several decades. The station is now fed
by a taxi-rank directly on Skelhorne Street (made possible by a change
in the one way direction of that street).

Despite what you say about it having been "moved", there is also (still)
a newer taxi-rank in Lord Nelson Street on the north side, between the
station and the Empire Theatre, as already mentioned by at least two
posters.

Check it out on Streetview - it's all there.

Maybe Mike Collins was telling the truth after all, especially about traffic on Great Newton St.


Great Newton Street is some distance from the location under discussion
(more than two-tenths of a mile by the shortest walking route and even
more by vehicle). Great Newton Street and Lord Nelson Street do not meet
or feed each other and never have.

So you agree Lord Nelson St can get busy with taxi's after the London train arrives and downhill traffic could be blocked by, say, an illegally parked van and it is just possible one of the blocked drivers just may try to drive on the pavement to avoid the queue and in the process drive at a pedestrian legally using the footway.

No.

Taxis do not make for Lime Street Station when "the London train

well-supplied with taxis all day and evening.

"just possible"?

It didn't happen. No-one tried to murder you by driving at you in a car
along the footway.

It might have been a cyclist on a bicycle, I suppose, and you chose to
embellish the story.

But no, it didn't happen.

well-supplied with taxis all day and evening.


Actually they do, or did back then. London is the only long distance service from Lime St. Most users of Lime St are local and make their own arrangements for onward travel.


and downhill traffic could be blocked by, say, an illegally parked van and it is just possible one of the blocked drivers just may try to drive on the pavement to avoid the queue and in the process drive at a pedestrian legally using the footway.


"just possible"?

It didn't happen. No-one tried to murder you by driving at you in a car
along the footway.

It might have been a cyclist on a bicycle, I suppose, and you chose to
embellish the story.

But no, it didn't happen.


Still waiting for your evidence to support this claim.

So you agree Lord Nelson St can get busy with taxi's after the London
train arrives and downhill traffic could be blocked by, say, an
illegally parked van and it is just possible one of the blocked drivers
just may try to drive on the pavement to avoid the queue and in the
process drive at a pedestrian legally using the footway.


Pssst! A word in your ear: mincemeat.

True. And I too can say it as a pedestrian. But I have never had a

When I had the misfortune to work in Liverpool I was walking up
Lord Nelson Street from Lime Street Station and a car drove at me
on the footway. The moronist's excuse for attempted murder was he
was just trying to keep the traffic flowing.

You failed to provide any evidence to support that far-fetched claim
about "attempted murder". A police report would do.

I know Lord Nelson Street *very* well. I have known it all my life,
because my family (both sides) have residential and other roots in
the area dating from before WW2 right up until the 1970s.

There is no appreciable traffic in Lord Nelson Street. It is a
destination, not a route. Traffic using it cannot make progress since
it feeds back into one-way streets and dual-carriageways with limited
turns. MC's not knowing that led him into the fabrication of his
story.

When did you last visit Lord Nelson St?


You can now visit Lord Nelson Street anytime on Google streetview. When
did you last visit?


Yes, I have done that, quite recently, in order to check whether the one
way streets into which Lord Nelson Street feeds had had their traffic
directions changed (not that such a thing would make any difference to a
typical cyclist).


Please take care with these cyclist chappies because my pantry is chock
full of freshly made mincement. Any more would be an embarrassing.
