PugJesusPublic health inspector measuring alleyway width for safety, Liverpool, UK, 1907
HideakikarateI would think that would have been better measured to establish safety parameters BEFORE the buildings were finalized.
“Hmm, an inch shy… I’m afraid we’ll have to knock them both down.”
sawdustprophet“Move the dumpster a few more inches, that doesn’t look like six feet.”
Hey!
…
Alright, alright, alright.

Alright, alright, alright.
rockerface🇺🇦Maybe he’s checking whether a horse can fit through there. That would probably be important when making a city map back then.
Iirc, Liverpool had a health crisis due the expansion of the city during the industrial revolution. A lot of streets were very narrow, making it very difficult to clean up waste and provide access to firemans.
If a street was too narrow, they actually would demolish one of the buildings to make space
Edit: or buildings in plural now that I think about it. You couldn’t just demolish one of them if they are so close
Luckily we contracted the Germans to do a lot of the demolition work, for free, in the 1940s
All what?
Andrew street entries that lad. Me nan got stabbed there for nicking some arl bute’s baccy from the wethys.
jesus christ I really hope you mean Scouse or Stoke
I’m really not, I’ll translate:
That’s the Andrew street alleyway, my friend. I know because I remember my grandmother being assaulted there with a knife after she relieved a disagreeable old gentleman of his tobacco in a nearby Wetherspoon’s.
I lived in Liverpool for a little over a year and your comment made me laugh. Thank you.
SCP-106 on his home dimension
The sad part is that even if had important safety concerns, he’s from Liverpool, so nobody can understand a fucking thing he’s saying.
RamenJunkieWhy are they called Imperial units again?
Because only Stormtroopers are that precise.
