Great pics all. I've still yet to see one of Rose Hill police station though. I used to walk past it 4 times a day to and from school for years and it featured in the 1958 Rank film 'Violent playground' It was demolished when St. Anne street opened in the early 1970s.
I once had an experience of being in a line up in Rose Hill police station. I was
working in Scotts bakery in Rose Place when a policeman came in and asked
me would I take part in a line up. The crime involved an 18 year youth so imagine my surprise when I saw the rest of the line up as I was 30 years old at the time,it must have been my youthful figure. I recieved a cup of cocoa and 2/6 for my trouble.
Another time I went in was when my bike, which I had left outside Moore`s camera shop in Dale St, next door to the police building was stolen.
About a week later a youth came to the bakery looking for a job riding my bike. I tried to take the bike but he wouldn`t let go so I took him to Rose Hill
with it. I had to go to the Juvenile Court 3 times and each time he never showed up.
Here's Esk St. nick! on the corner of Derby Rd/Esk St in Bootle.
Whats left of it!

I'll have to get some better pics of this place, although all that is left standing is the outside walls.
I live in Bootle I was going up to get some pics of the one by Bootle Town Hall, so I can do Esk St at the same time if you want?
Originally built by Lancashire County Council, cf also the ones in Garston and Lark Lane.
From "Arab: A Liverpool Street Kid Remembers" (1971) by Andie Clark ("The Autobiography of an Early Century Street Arab").
One of the first Liverpool books I bought, and still one of my favourites.
It's long since been out of print, but should still be available in libraries.

Thanks Philip. There's an illustration of it too in Scotland Road - the old neighbourhood by Terry Cooke (author of Little Italy). I have a side view of it from Peover street but that's all. My mate and I got in there when it was disused, there was a hall and we lifted a trap door up on the stage and there was a load of cricket gear in there, whites, stumps, bats etc.
I was in the records office today, notice you were there on sat. I've got some old pics to post tomorrow if I get a mo in busy work. :unibrow:
With apologies to dear Oscar.
This is the hidden side of Cheapside Bridewell.
