    Default New Liverpool Park


    A new park is being developed just off the East Lans Road and Stonebridge Lane, with riverside walks. It`s very near the sewage works and when I was there yesterday it wasn`t a very nice smell with the heat of the sun. It is being developed by the Liverpool Land Company. It will be known as Stonebridge Park

    Default New park !

    Hi Gregsdad, Would that new park in Stonebridge Lane ( a lovely country walk when i was a kid ) , be incorporating the River Alt ? I read that they were reintroducing water voles in that area , again as a kid i used to watch them often in the river section that runs through what is now Croxteth Park ,formerly Lord Seftons Estate & we walked through there to Knowsley Village . Ron

    Yes it looks like it Ron, I don`t know about voles though I used to see plenty of rats on my way to work on my bike in the area

    Default Croxteth Country Park

    I could have sworn I'd seen a thread called 'Autumn in Liverpool' and was going to post this photo there, but I can't find it so its going here instead



    Near the riding school at Croxteth Country Park, I live close by but always forget how beautiful it is there.

    Default The ornithologists

    The ornithologists.

    In the park this morning I encountered Billy on the bridge. ?What?s that bird over there ?? Said Billy. ?Over where?? I said. ?Over there, by the small island?, he said, ?on that thing sticking out the water, It looks like a pigeon to me.? ?No, it?s not a pigeon ?I said, ?It looks more like a parrot or a cockatoo?. ?It?s a pity we have not got a pair of binoculars?, said Billy. ?Hang on ?I said, ?I?ve got a pair in the car, I will go and get them. Coming back with the binoculars (?6.75 from Aldi?s) I focused on the mystery bird. ?It?s still not clear, but it looks like a bird of pray, hang on, It looks like a barn owl, have a look yourself,? I said. ?Yes, it?s definitely a barn owl, but what?s it doing there in this weather,? said Billy. ?Maybe it?s injured, it might have been attacked?I said. ?Lets move round the lake to get a better look, I?m still not sure?, said Billy, By this time, big Ron and Phil where coming towards use from the opposite direction. ?What are you two looking at? said big Ron, ?A bird? said Billy. ?I hope it?s the feathered kind? said big Ron. ?Of course it is, what else would it be in the middle of the lake? said Billy.
    Looking again from a different angle, I still couldn?t make out what type of bird it was.
    ?From here you can only see it from side on?, I said, ?but it looks as if it is definitely injured, one wing looks broken?. ?Lets have a look,?said big Ron, taking the binoculars from my hand. ?I don?t know what it is?, he said, after looking ?I wouldn?t know one bird from another?.
    Phil said ?here?s George walking down, he will know what kind it is; He?s always feeding the pigeons?. ?What?s going on here?, shouted George, walking towards us.
    ?Have a look at this bird, George, and tell us what you think it is?, I shouted.

    Taking the binoculars, George focused on the mystery bird again. We waited with baited breath for the professional verdict.



    ?It?s a Lesser Spotted Tesco?! Said George, ?it?s a plastic bag!! It?s been there for some time now; the wind must have ripped it making it flap about?!!!

    There's lots of hidden little public spaces and gardens within the city centre like the rear of Mercury Court (old Exchange Station) and Roscoe gardens (Mount Pleasant) and here's one you don't often get to see, on the roof of the Liverpool Echo lower building.

    How can a building facing a park be allowed to get in this state.
    regardless of who the owner is, the council should step in and buy it up for redevelopment for council tenency.

    They shouldn't even have to buy them up Samp but legislation local or National should be in place to snaffle these properties if left to deteriorate like this.

    1906 map of Newsham Park showing the park layout as it used to be.

    The positions of four fountains, one which was shown recently on Yo!

    I'm sorry for the poor quality of the picture, I will try and do a better one.

    The fountains mentioned can be seen near the word 'DIVISION' which is underneath the large word 'LIVERPOOL' and can be seen close to the letter 'I' in the word division.

    Hope this makes sense!
