Re: New ASLDs? Have your say before 22 September 24
does Kirkdale have any character? As some who grew up Kirkdale area i the 1940s/50s/60s I say its now souless and characterless [mind you I only go back via google street view now]
I remember Dartmouthroad/kirkdale junction full of a variety of small useful shops, not a takeaway to be had.
Businesses ranged from the laundry through expess dairy, fuel station Pubs cafes and all the sort of shops where you'd do daily shopping, even a toy shop where us kids would look in and do 'baggsy'. two barbers,two greengrocers,a baker,Bouchers stores, Motts chemist, a Butchers, a cobbler. a launderette,about 3 sweetshop tobaconists, plus many others,its all shutters and graffiti now.
More character when it had bomb sites.

It's a term used in urban planning to identify specific areas within a community that have unique historical, cultural, or architectural significance. These areas are often protected to preserve their character and prevent development that could harm their unique qualities.
