City street with 'village feel' once visited by Princess Diana

Life is "like a Sunday afternoon" on a formerly "dilapidated and scruffy" street once visited by Princess Diana.

Despite being just a few hundred feet from Liverpool Women's Hospital and the traffic of Upper Parliament Street, Falkner Square is peaceful. The white rows of three storey Georgian houses surround a park where Rossie is walking his dog, Kim Beecroft sits journalling on a bench, and Mo Tahir has just stumbled across a rare, leafy green in central Liverpool.

Rossie will have lived in the area for 18 years this April. He said: "You've got a beautiful mix of people. People who are local, people who maybe come from outside of this particular area. They can sit here in the summer, people lay out, take in the rays, have a little picnic, and as you can see, I'm walking my dog Micky boy."
