Bars go into administration....and three Woolton venues ? Casa del Cocodrilo, Fargo and Negresco Deco. The article states these are closed.

Bars in city under threat - LDPbusiness

I kept away from the Woolton ones. The others, apart from Korova were weird.

There probably overpriced bars anyway and plus they got away with the elephant head taken off weirdly.

It's a fine building isn't it - just down the road from my much wanted 'Tower House' in Tower Way.

Reynolds Park has to be one of the loveliest hidden gems of Liverpool, peaceful and no scallies!

Will probably get another photo of that since I want to make a more artsy shot of It and I didn't have a portable HD to store them on till late last year.

Since I won't be jumping the trains for a while, I'll be around South Liverpool with the camera for a while.

Woolton's only a 15 minute cycle too.

Other than what happened with the Elephant head, I'm glad Wooltons a place In Liverpool thats well looked after. Lately I either see a building site or good buildings knocked down for luxury apartments, offices or shops being built which we have enough of already.

Liverpool will eventually look bland and have building blocks for a building.

Here are 2 pictures of the same house taken approx 120 years apart. One from the 1890s and one from this year. The house was once my GG grandfathers in Camphill Road Woolton and is called Hillfoot Lodge. He was also the Head Gardener at Camphill (Thomas Clare).
