Southport Corporation.
I worked on them, 1964 to 1967.
'Monument' is the War Memorial in Lord Street - All the buses went to the Monument.
What was it doing at Mann Island?
Liverpool FC always used them for their 'homecomings' because of the colour (and they were the only local open-tops at the time).
I'm not sure why that bus was at Mann Island, but it's the only time I've seen it there. The picture was taken a couple of Sundays ago.
Interesting Victorian Pillar Box survival in King St Garston.
Nice photo Max. I suspect had the Rathbones not given the estate to the University but sold it to property developers ( as did most estate owners), then Greenbank house would have been demolished and the land covered with terraced housing. Much the same happened to the nearby Penketh Hall, Elm Hall and Heathfield estates in Wavertree and of course many others around Liverpool.
Yes, surely the University looking after it is a good thing?! Just look at the Royal Liverpool Infirmary - I wouldn't be surprised if that had been demolished by now if it weren't for the university.
An astute posting, Taffy. I am sure you are correct, and it's great to know that Greenbank House was rescued for posterity due to the Rathbones' decision. It was great to meet you when I was in Liverpool. I am finding the Garston Mill booklet that I obtained through you most informative.
