Right. Okay, excellent. I was also curious about the bird on the drainpipe, about whether it is meant to be a Liver Bird, or whether it is a heraldic eagle, such as Lord Derby has on his crest. Do you know what the building used to be be originally?

Thanks, Quincy. Then I think I might be right. It is the Eagle and Child Crest of the Earls of Derby, as in this example from Castle Rushen on the Isle of Man. The hunting lodge is new to me as well. :rolleyes: Where is that located precisely? Is it open to the public and how old is it?

sorry, still learning the ropes of this site. I'll have to remember to take a pen & paper so I can make a note if it's an area I don't know well. quite often I just spot summat and get off the bus, then quickly on the next one that turns up.

This one is Durning Rd, Edge Hill. Building is next to the Durning pub.

Thanks for the notes.
The first one was a Co-op.
You can tell by the Wheatsheaf logo.
On the top it says (said?) something like Toxteth Co-operative Provident Society, even though it's not in Toxteth.

I'm trying to think of what date stones I've walked past [or plaques commemorating the building of something]. Almost every building on the north side of Kensington from Farnworth St to past Sheil Rd has one,the terraced houses on the south side,by Low Hill,have one,then further into town we have the Co-Op building on London Rd.,the toilets in Monument Place [yes,really!],the Royal Infirmirary,the coach station,Central library,Clayton Square arcade...there are tons! There's also a nice one on a building on the Dock Rd,by Sandon Dock industrial estate.

there's this wee bit on the Sefton Council website

Bootle’s first library was in Oriel Road, by the Town Hall: it opened on 22nd June 1887. The elegant building also housed a museum and art gallery for this thriving Victorian town.

By the 1970s Bootle Library was underused; the building was old, and the nearby resident population was shrinking. With government funding Sefton MBC built a replacement library on Stanley Road, which would be more accessible and nearer the commercial heart of the town. It opened on 17th September 1979 and flourished.

An arson attack in November 2002 resulted in a great deal of damage: after extensive repair work the library re-opened in March 2004.
