The wife and I paid a visit to the Crosby Coastguard Station a few years back and noticed the brick ?infill? on the beach.
All I could think of was the Slum Clearance of the 60s and 70s.
I was born in Celt Street, West Derby Rd. All the streets in that area, as I knew them, have long gone:-
Grey Rock Street.
Red Rock Street.
White Rock Street.
Norwood Grove,
and most of the others from there down to Belmont Road.
Take that and all of the demolition of Scotland Road and you have a good idea of where the bricks on the beach came from.
Norwood Grove also had a Church and Church Hall on the corner with West Derby Road. That may explain the Sandstone bits found on the beach.

At the age of 70 next week the brain cells are going fast so some of the above may be wrong.
