    Hi, anyone got any information on Woolton Hayes?
    We have someone who is interested and I can't find much 'cept an old painting-which I'm not sure is the 'Woolton' Woolton Hayes.
    You can see the thread and the painting here:-

    Had a nose around Reynolds Park at the weekend and again, this is somewhere where I have 'lived' on my bike, but you start to see things when you take things more slowly on foot.

    Wanted to have a nose at the steps that I'd seen before but they didn't shed any light as to why they are there. I know there have been a few things demolished at Reynolds Park (including the old pub) but these steps don't seem to fit in with anything.

    They look like Mounting Steps, to get on horses.
    If they happen to be on the other side of the wall as well, they'd be a stile.

    Am I correct that the grass at the top of the photograph is level with the top of the wall? If so the wall could have been part of a ha-ha, the eighteenth century landscaping device introduced by Charles Bridgeman at Stowe, a sunken trench and wall that kept farm animals away from the landowner's house, but maintain an unbroken vista when seen from the house. I remember there is a ha-ha around Calderstones House. The steps would have enabled a human to go from the pasture to the mansion house.

    As a line in an old Tom O'Connor joke went about Scousers in a bar in Soho, London goes: Scouser to waiter: "Purra head on it or I'll purra head on yew!!!"

    Good news that they are going to be made to put the Elephant's head back.

    The last I heard after sending a 20 pound donation to help save the Woolton Cinema is that it was saved by a Woolton business man, so should still be going strong.
    I went to many a Sat, matinee there, watching stuff like Flash Gordon, Ken Maynard, Buck Rogers, and Gene Autry singing to his horse



    Will take a look at it when visiting Liverpool in August, probably my last trip home, as age is catching up with me. I hope not though.

    Hope Woolton win, I love going down there to relax sometimes, only 10-15 minute bike ride up Menlove avenue.

    I'd like to sit on the quarry looking out at the view from high up, shame It's blocked off though.

    I know this is a shot in dark but way back when Florence Nightingale was a lass..well 1976 actually but it feels that long ago I started my nurse training and we were billeted in a place in Woolton but I cant for the life of me remember what is was called.....or where about it was.....it was a big place and I remember the rooms we had only had partitions as walls that did not reach the ceiling...we were there for the first three months of training doing our PTS (preliminary training school) stuff......I know there was a pub close by but again the memory fails..any one any ideas where I mean.

    Hello Maggie

    I would similarly love to see a current photograph of Camp Hill.

    I attended a local fete there in 1960 to 1970 odd and know that reputedly Camp Hill was an ancient British fort though I am not sure that claim is exactly proven.

    In any case, I will welcome any photographs of Camp Hill, Woolton, as it looks today or older images as well!
