Had a nice time at what has to be the best play area in Liverpool, the views of the river are excellent:

Hi Joe
Took a liberty with your photographs. I hope you like the sentiment. Will also post a couple of your pics elsewhere and of course credit you if that is okay.
Rhododendron Path
Sick of the photographs
of oil-slicked pelicans
from the Gulf oil spill,
the chat about culpability
of corporate executives
and playboy serial killers,
I wish instead just to dream
like Millais' "Bubbles" and wander
the rhododendron path
of a childhood park.

Railway bridge in Otterspool Park
Lovely pics Kev, I must go down there and enjoy the river scenes.
Also stunning pics gregs dad as usual.
The area around the old W.C. is due to be cleared soon, for better facilities. There are several large stone blocks scattered around Otterspool. Some have the remains of railings, some others have grooves. Pretty hefty, they could be from the dock/dam?

In regard to those large slabs of sandstone that Marky showed and wondered if they were from the dock/dam that used do be at the mouth of the old Otterspool as shown in Griffiths' History of the Royal and Ancient Park of Toxteth, to my mind, there's a good likelihood that's where they are from. Particularly the big piece of sandstone with the notch in it could have been from the lock gate, conceivably.
