The specific reason for my visit to Maghull is because i'm endevouring to research 4 houses on Kennessee Green which is part of Station Road. Believed to have been built in 1869, they are numbered from No.11 through to 17 inclusive. No.11 is called Lynwood House, No.15 is Penlee.

After consulting with the LRO who referrred me to Sefton R.O. at Crosby library, this turned up zilch as did their referral to Lancashire R.O. at Preston. It appears that local practitioner Dr. John Rowlands has written a few books on Lydiate and Maghull so having had to luck in Ormskirk's Waterstones my next stop is the library unless anyone here can kindly shed any light on their history.

Here are Nos.11 and 13.

Good pics Ged,Iwas there wednesday

[Intrigued]

Great pics, can't help on the houses but did you know that the IRA blew up one of the swing bridges in 1939, we only know this as my partner has research a lil bit about the area as we want to move there. There is no stragic reason why they blew it up apperantly.

Didn't realize it was Maghull though I'd heard of such things as part of S-plan so not sure about lack of strategy. Rubbish strategy perhaps.
