Wow, i've not been up that way much. Will have to take a dander round there
Ged
Known to us 'Oldies' as Fazakerley Cottage Homes.
I spent a year+ there just after the war.
The building you can see on the right of the clock tower was the 'home' I was in (I think it was No 12).
Also to the right of the clock, but out of picture, was the baths and a yard for the workshops and utillities.
To the left of the clock was a short side road where the school was. That at one time also had a swimming pool in the basement.
The Hall in the centre was the Chappel amongst other things. I remember having a xmas party there.
From there I went to Olive Mount for a number of years.
Do a Google search for Friends of Fazakerley. I think they may still have a site up.
Phredd.
In the days when we had nothing we had fun.
If tomorrow starts without me, remember I was here.
There you go Phredd. The baths.

All the best on your recovery phredd.
When I was a kid Cottage homes (Cotty home to us kids) was a nut house.
Little did we know being so young and nieve that it also housed disabled people .
Car boot sales have since been held in the church hall and most of the houses are now being used as offices for local services.
Saw the tower from the first one tonight. Not noticed it before but saw it from the train on the way back from work in Kirkby.
Just came across this site which is both about the Fazackerley family and the area more usually spelled today Fazakerley.
http://www.fazackerley.co.uk/
The site is by Dave Fazackerley and I thought it was well done with interesting information and graphics, all presented as if you are reading an old book about the family and the location. Nicely done, Dave.
I'm sure other members of Yo Liverpool know about the site but it was new to me.

I've got this saved in my favourites already. It's brilliant the way it's been done.
I have walked the Fazakerley grounds for many years. I remember the old clock house.
Thanx for the reminder Chris.
Keeping it real!
