    Default St Mary's

    The Weekend of the 13th and 14th September, the Tower of St Mary's will be open. I saw a promo for this whilst zooming past on the 68 today, could anyone clarify this?

    That sounds like the Heritage Weekend where everything is open on just two days.
    So many places, so little time.
    There will be a booklet in libraries, and other places.

    The heritage open day website was returning errors was returning errors this morning so in case it's a bit wobbly I'll quote the whole entry rather than just the link:

    Parish Church of St Mary

    Walton-on-the-Hill , County Road , Walton , Liverpool , Merseyside , L4 5PW

    Description:

    The Parish of St Mary, Walton is mentioned in the Doomsday Book, but there is evidence of a church here even further back than that. The shaft of the Saxon Cross, discovered after the church was blitzed, was re-erected in the church in 2000. The records of the church go back to 1586 and are usually kept at the Public Records Office in the city centre (William Brown Street). Samples of the records are loaned back to the church and are on display for Heritage Open Days. There will be an exhibition containing many photographs. The old grammar school next to the church dates back to the early 1600?s and is also open and is also displaying records of historical significance. The tower is open for people to enjoy the panoramic view. On Sunday 14th September, the Rector of the church will be giving a talk about John Holt who was the school master of the Old Grammar School and who opened the girls? academy in Walton Village.


    Opening Times:

    Saturday 13th September: 1030-1600
    Sunday 14th September: 1130-1500


    Pre-Booking Required:

    No

    Default Quantum Records?

    Hey all...I used to go to a good little indie record shop on Walton or County Rds every so often called Quantum,but recently when passing through I couldn't find it. Where did they move to? There was another second-hand only record shop on Carisbrooke Rd too,which has also vanished. Has that moved or just closed down,as there is one on the main road nearby. Is that related?

    Dave.

    I was at the top of Spellow Lane by Walton Lane (EFC Store/Stadium) and saw that the old school/church is in the process of demolition.



    Anyone know what the story is behind this??? No pictures sadly, I was on the 68!
