    I like the exterior of Speke Hall. The inside is largely Victorian kitsch. The café charges extortionate prices. I think I paid £2 (or more) for a bottle of Sasparilla. Fortunately I'm a member of...

    I think it's one of the old points of access to the Mersey in these parts before Grassendale Park came into being. It was probably built up a bit in order to manage the Mersey mud! Where the modern...
