The Picture Gallery: Photographs of Liverpool
High Park Street, Liverpool 8: 1982
 This
photograph
was
taken
during
the
long
cold
winter
of
1982
at
the
corner
of
Prince's
Avenue
and
High
Park
Street
in
the
Toxteth
(from
Old
Danish:
'Toki's
landing
place')
district
of
Liverpool- more commonly referred to by locals as 'Liverpool 8'..
Such are the racial politics of the area that this side of Prince's Avenue is traditionally considered 'white Toxteth'- the other side, centred around Granby Street, is 'black Toxteth'... The youth in the foreground is walking upon the site of Pimhill Street, which had been demolished shortly before the photograph was taken. The site has since been covered by new housing.
