Aigburth District

There was a recreation ground between Holt House and Mere Bank, and a plot big enough for one house on the other side of Mere Bank.
These were the only open sites on that side of Ullet Road.
All the rest of that side (including the sites of the post-war tower blocks) was occupied by large Victorian Houses.
The new flats by Prince's Park were built on the site of Park Nook.

Good work, Max. The church pics look great to me.

There a couple of newer properties around Sefton Park, between Lark Lane and the Alicia Hotel...Bloomfield Green, for one and some ugly new low level brick building. Maps around 100 years ago show large houses around Bloomfield Green.

Have a walk down Lark Lane, Julia, Nice Area! and look down Hadassah Grove, check out the Lark Lane Web Site, and also handy for Sefton Park! Good Hunting!

Good hunting. I thought it was suggested that there was seldom hunting at Sefton (Toxteth) park?

Hi Chris /Everyone,

Now that I have got my little mitts on 2 tickets for the 'James Maybrick Trial' I was wondering if anyone out there can recommend any cheap and cheerful b&b's in the area near to the cricket club.I've been on t'internet (I'm from Bolton) all day but have'nt had any luck. They're all far too posh for me. Hope someone out there can help!
Cheers and garlic bread,

Sue.

The average price at the Grange is £35.
It was built in 1842, and I can recommend the food.

Per Taffy over on the James Maybrick thread:

Dear Chris,

This hotel has closed and has been converted into "luxury apartments". Liverpool no longer uses the word flats and of course all apartments are of the "luxury" variety. Not quite sure what "luxury" means, perhaps running hot and cold water !!

Oh dear, I didn't know that.
The Grange went through various phases.
In the 1980s it was housing Social Security tenants, but after that it reverted to being a "proper" hotel.
Mrs Roberts, who lived over the road in Holmefield Lodge, treated me to the occassional meal at the Grange.

At least it hasn't been demolished.

Agreed, Philip, that is a good thing.
