Thank you.
I would be interested in that. I lived in Cedar Road for 15 years. I bet the local Churches have some stuff. Blessed Sacrament, on Walton Vale, has been there for a Century so I am sure they have archives. Never took any of the Vale myself.
Me too, my family lived in Firdale Rd.
A couple of pics of Walton Vale..
The Chemist building goes unnoticed. Lovely building.
The B&W pic is Walton Vale
It's a sad fact but there isn't really that much on the net ref. Walton Vale or Orrell Park! I've been looking for ages and have found about 10 photo's! I got so frustrated that I went back and took a couple of snaps last year and put them on Google Earth if anyone wants to have a squint! The thing that really annoys me is that one of my aunts worked in a photographic shop on Dale street and my uncle Vic was a photographer for Liverpool City Council so I could have had a camera when I was young but I never bothered!...Wish to God I had now.
Wasn't there a Zoological garden somewhere in Walton? I think the stone gate posts still exist?
The ticket office still stands,opposite the hospital,and near to the "Plough"(?) pub'.It was used as a florist,but is now empty.There is a plaster frieze of the animals,over the top of the window,I've got a pic' somewhere!!
I've seen this somewhere...
Walton Vale by the Black Bull. Of course it's on my site :)
Try the pre war and post war pages.
Also the old zoo entrance is on the 'streets ahead' page ;)
Zoological gardens. Thanks guys, I thought I'd seen it somewhere. I'll have a search on the threads for some pics of the gatehouse, or what's left of it.
Thanks Ged,
I really enjoyed going through that thread. I'm amazed at the size and scale of Rice Lane site. When me mum said I was born in a zoo, she wasn't far wrong, Walton Hosp. is not too far away.
