    Default Wavertree - Edge Hill Areas

    Wavertree - One of Liverpool's most historic areas, possibly dating back to the stone age. Flint arrow heads and burial urns have been found here. There used to be a lake, where the children's playground is now, they filled it in for a playground!!

    I'll start with the Wavertree Round House and Lock up. Once used as an over night lock up for drunks, used in 1832 as a mortuary for cholera victims.

    Just up the hill from the playground, if you drive up Mill Lane you might miss it, walk up and you will see it. This is not the original site, it was moved years ago when the area was built up. You can get the full history from the Wavertee society site, it is a very interesting site and well worth a look.

    There's something in the grounds of St Mary's Walton church .. a monks well or a Saxon well - not sure, but very old! I did see it many years ago and it was covered by undergrowth then. Don't know what state it's in now.

    Fine pic, Max and thanks for the link to your Flickr site. I have a black and white of the Monk's Well that I took in the Sixties with a couple of young scallys on it. I will post it here sooner or later when I can get it scanned. I find it interesting that the sandstone cross on top of the well is obviously newer than the stonework below which is eroded and evidently of greater date, although not as old perhaps as "1414" the date that is on it. Or at least it is my understanding that arabic numbered dates were not in use that far back. I think it is also true that there is no evidence of the spring there now, is that right? Does anyone have any information on whether the well has just been capped off or it dried up or what?

    All you have to do is switch off the colour don't you?
