    I've got lots of pictures of Lime Productions and the Hollyoaks set but I'm still under copyright not to ever show them.

    Are they the steps that are very close to the bridge and run up to the right?

    Hi Cadfael

    What exactly are Lime Productions? What do they do? Is Hollyoaks a British TV series or something?

    For more info see the "When Liverpool was Dixie" web site. I think it was the American Charles Prioleau who lived in Allerton Hall. He also built 19 Abercromby Sq where the state tree, the cabbage palmetto tree, of South Carolina still adorns the interior of the building

    I almost forgot these lost mansions:

    Allerton - Once home to the Fletcher family covering 140 years. The first house on the site was built in the early 1800s which was destroyed by fire. The second house was built in 1815.











    November 1944 was gutted by fire again. The shell remains which shows fragments of its classical design. The obelisk at the side of the house had nothing to do with it, it was erected before 'Allerton' was built by occupants of Allerton Hall near by.





    Five miles from Liverpool Town Hall, the four sides match up with the compass points. It is riddled with holes, possible from rifle shots.



    Allerton Tower - The once beautiful Italianate residence off Woolton Rd. Designed in 1847 by Harvey Lonsdale Elmes the Architect

    of St. Georges Hall, for Sir Hardman Earle, of the Earle Family, was director of the Liverpool to Manchester Railway and a witness to

    Huskisson's fatal accident on its opening day.

    Built in 78

    acres of grounds, once part of the Manor of Allerton. The main house was unfortunately demolished 1937 and all that remains is what you can see below with

    out houses at the

    rear:

















    Allerton Tower Out Houses - Walking around the outside, through the grounds I found this weird and wonderful archway leading

    through a short tunnel into a very small enclosed area surrounded by a wall and landscaping. I havn't a clue what is was used for but

    fascinating:









    Onto the

    buildings.....

    RE: Otterspool. This place is really interesting. So from what I can gather, the entrance to Otterspool (Aigburth Vale) was once where a brook once ran, downwards where now you can walk, under the bridge;


    posted above and would flow out into the Mersey, via a 'flat' visable to the right of this pic:



    The home Otterspool I can only assume was located somewhere to the left of this pic?

    OK, so Mike Roydons page states that the house was located where this kiosk is now:

    Is that what he says?
    Wasn't the house the exact spot where the circular cafe is?
