MarkA,
Thanks, I have looked for a pic before and was never able to find one. It stood on the edge of the small lake . In that pic it is in way better condition than it was when I was a kid. When I remember it from the sails only had the frames left.

I did a search in Google and that postcard was sold in December for £20.77 on eBay. Just searching through eBay now and there's loads of old Liverpool stuff for sale from postcards to OS maps of areas from around the 1900's. It'd be worth doing what I did, go through eBay and save any pictures you find.

Here's one for Max. The base of this still exists around the area of the Coffee House...

Beverley Road.
According to this the remains have been cleared for redevelopment long ago.

Wow ! I never knew that there had been a windmill in Newsham park.
Living in Anfield all my life I have been to that park billions of times - and I never heard of that before !

Youse young kids missed a lot.

It was removed in the late 50's, it had been neglected and was unsafe.
I don't know what its real purpose was but someone told me when I was kid that it was a water pump to keep the lakes full.
