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... |

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.
