Windsor Street starts at the Toxteth boundary, opposite the Anglican Cathedral, on Upper Parliament Street and runs to North Hill Street. At which point it changes direction slightly and is re-christened Admiral Street. This file follows the course of Windsor Street with the Cathedral behind you, leaving the city.



Just past its junction with Upper Parliament Street it passes the Toxteth Free Library on the right hand side followed by the Wellington Butts Pub at No 11, on the left at its junction with Stanhope Street.


Two more pubs would have followed, again on the left.  The Windsor Castle at 37 (now the premises of Toxteth T.V.) (no picture)  and a little further along is The Grapes, at the junction with Grey Street. Virtually opposite The Grapes, at 48-50, is the St. James Mission hall which is still standing, although it is no longer in use as a mission.


The junction with Upper Hill Street is the site of the Windsor Street School.  Like many buildings which have managed to survive, this is not being used for it original purpose and on my visit in late 2004 it was under renovation, but at least it is still there unlike the former Elim Chapel which is just past the school, on the other side of the dividing Whitaker Street,  still on the left hand side of Windsor Street. 


Passing the junction with the short Stananought Street, you approach the junction with Warwick Street and Upper Warwick Street. This is the site of two more pubs. One, the Sefton on the left, has gone, the other was just about standing still in September 2004, and is the Bank House, shown here right.

 
The junction with Upper Warwick Street the left hand side of the road (city behind you) still preserves a few of the Edwardian and Victorian shops and houses built after toxteth was developed from the original fields. What were the Sefton Barracks and Parade Ground built in 1871 are on the right of the picture, although the premises are now a garage.  Just beyond, the first street visible (right) is Pickwick Street.



This is the view from this same junction with Upper Warwick Street, looking down Windsor Street, away from the city centre. (the same direction but showing other side of the road). Gwendoline Street is first on the left, beyond is the Church of Christ on the corner of Geraint Street.



A little beyond this, again on the left, is a junction with Elaine Street, formerly this junction was the site of what was a co-op store. Opposite this stood the church of St Philemon, again this is no more.


After junctions on the left from Merlin Street and Modred Street, Windsor Street terminates at its junction with North Hill Street.  Its effective continuation, albeit at a slightly altered angle, is Admiral Street. The view (left) is looking up Admiral Street with the city still behind you. The rising groundhere is part of the hill which reaches its summit at High Park Street, which is the next junction along Admiral Street.

The finest view however is the view looking back along Windsor Street, one which I found by serendipity one day.  The rising ground gives one of the finest views of the Anglican Cathedral in the the whole of the city.
