Not in Liverpool but over the water: Birkenhead Priory, a hidden gem, as I have remarked before.

Also the Calder Stones in the conservatory on the Harthill Estate next to Calderstones Park. Many people probably don't know about these early remains, which are actually inscribed stones from a Neolithic tomb.

The Everton trophy room. Nobody been near it in years.

Mind you the Liverpool one is getting as bad.

For racing fans. The Racecourse has a good museum.

Speke Hall, Liverpool, near John Lennon Liverpool Airport.

Etching by James Abbott McNeill Whistler, "Speke Hall." The American-born artist (known for the painting popularly known as "Whistler's Mother") did etchings of the Tudor mansion in the late 19th century. His patron was the then owner of the hall, the ancestral home of the Norris family, Liverpool shipping magnate Frederick R. Leyland. For Leyland's London mansion, Whistler painted the fabulous and controversial "Peacock Room (www.asia.si.edu/exhibitions/online/peacock/default.htm)" now in the Freer Gallery of the Smithsonian Institution, close to where I work in Washington, D.C. -- another hidden gem!

I would like to see an similar entrance to what they've done with Harry Potter at Kings Cross station for Platform 9 3/4?

18964


Incidentally, did Doddy give them an entrance in folklore land: Knotty Ash, or city centre?

It's s t r e t c h i n g it to call The Williamson Tunnels a gem. At some stage in the future it may be worthy of the gem status, but what's there for the public at the moment is very poor indeed.

I enquired about the Calder stones a few years back & was told that they were being stored in a warehouse somewhere. Have they been resurrected?
