    Default Grassendale Park Area

    A few more from Garssendale Park, L19

    Used to play around these as kids, there were many more of them to the left behind the wall you can see, from WW2?

    Stevie G -

    Take a drive down but very slowly there are speed bumps everywhere. Anyway, you have more time to appreciate the individual houses and very impressive they are too.

    There are actually 2 proms that are attached via a walk-through from one to the other.

    The first part, where Cressington Station is can be entered opposite Garston Old Rd, there is a Church on the left as you pass through.

    The second part, where that old man sadly crashed through the barrier a few days ago is found when you drive down a road called Grassendale Rd where the petrol garage is.

    The two railway bridges used to be much more interesting... when I was a young idiot..., I discovered that it was possible to drive fast enough Northbound on Salisbury Rd. to get a Ford Anglia airborne over the hump backed bridge - just as I discovered the upcoming left turn....

    You should try the bridge on Rose Lane after gathering speed from Mossley Hill and aim to have your Mk2 Fiesta lifted off at the brow of the bridge only to see someone sitting a few feet in front of you waiting to turn right

    Yep, I remember that one too... but I was too chicken to try that in daylight.... only after midnight. The hill really did help get the speed up.

    Cressington Park had much quieter and emptier roads - at least in the 60's...

    Had a good mooch down there yesterday as I hadn't been down Beechwood Road since I ran up it at the 20 mile mark in the Liverpool marathon during the 1980s. I remember going back the following sunday to look at the mansions I 'd seen across the way.

    Grassendale is a lovely spot. The houses are so grand looking.

    Paul D Those photos of Formby are beautiful. We used to go there a lot. Must go again very soon.

    Great pics of Speke Hall, it's true that all Liverpool kids grow up with tales of the ghosts there I remember being in awe at the place when I was little and listening to the spooky stories.

    Default Grassendale District

    Had a walk around Grassendale Esplanade this afternoon.

    oohh, it's lovely down there. So peaceful, and the view over the river.
    Don't know the area very well, but we drove down thru' Salisbury rd (I think it was) - saw Cressington station - we parked at the bottom by Knowsley rd & South rd. It is such a nice area. It must be nice to live there.
    I wonder if it is quiet like that all the time ??
    It was so peaceful this afternoon. We only saw one other person walking by.

    It's like another planet from where I live !!!

    Drove further along to St Michaels in the Hamlet which is another nice little area tucked away.
