Apologies for the durge in updates!
I hate to bump and double post but the aforementioned Flickr update is now up and ready for you great guys to look at. A few questionmarks over some of the pubs shown there; more notably The Stuart.
Enjoy!
PS: Phill, the attachment was very interesting but the Walton Park I was talking about was Walton Park off Rice Lane. I should have been more clearer as to which Walton Park I requested some info on. In which case I do apologise for any confusion.

Oh dear! Yes, I was talking about a small Victorian housing development off Rice Lane. Had I been referring to the park with trees and grass, I would have said "Walton Hall Park" as that is it's official name.
I think the next update will be on my side of the water; little can go wrong there one hopes!
Many thanks to everyone for sharing their local knowledge; this forum has been listed in the Bibliography for the Walton page.
All the best

Youngsters brandish guns in vile gang internet video
Oct 24 2007 by Caroline Innes, Liverpool Daily Post
TWO months after 11-year-old Rhys Jones was tragically shot dead, youngsters from Liverpool are still glorifying gang violence and gun crime in shocking videos posted on internet websites.
The latest, posted on YouTube this week, shows members of Walton’s City Road gang showing off their arsenal of weapons – including different guns, knives, samurai swords, knuckle dusters and pit bull terriers – to a rap music background track.
After discovering the video, the Daily Post alerted Merseyside police. After reviewing the footage, they have now vowed to identify the individuals featured in the film and bring them to justice. more
But only after they've sorted out the paperwork mountain they've got.
Was round by the Black Bull yesterday...
Longmoor Lane, Warbreck Moor
When did the Aintree Institute go??? I was somewhat shocked to see that it was no longer with us!
Just incase some of you are wondering where this was taken, The Black Bull pub is just off to the left, and Tesco Metro is just behind me.

It happened in June (I know because I mentioned it on another thread). Very quickly - just over a weekend and without anyone seeming to have advance notice.
Have to say that it had been allowed to become a complete eyesore.
Thanks for that Geoff!!
Cant remember the last time I was round this way, Used to be often when going to and from Tynedale, but as I have come home pernamently, my acquaintance with this great part of the city has some what dropped!
Whats going to happen to the site?? For some reason, I don't see flats as something that would be built here, maybe a commercial unit???

Haven't heard of any plans for it Wallasey but I'll report back if I do.
Spent the first couple of years of my life living with one Gran (and my parents) in Makin St off County Rd. Then with the other Gran in Phythian St, Kensington. Then a prefab in Speke before a house in Allerton.
Served an apprenticeship at Dunlops in Rice Lane.
So - lots of associations with Walton.

Just recently heard about Liverpool being awarded City of Culture status and got nostalgic about the place, having left in 1977, so am trailing around t'Internet looking for photos (old and new) of the place I grew up in and its surroundings, namely Northcote Road, Walton. Does anyone have any quick links to sites with photos of that area (excluding this one, which I'm already exploring)?
A recent look at the area on Google Earth suggests that Northcote Infants/Junior School has gone - which saddens me deeply, it was a lovely building back in the day - as has the old railway tunnel near Beaconsfiled Road.
Many thanks.
Mike
