and put "Aigburth Drive" into the search box and you'll find some pictures of Sefton Park's railings in all their glory from about 1902. I tried to paste them here but the pixel rating is too high.



My mother lived in Lark Lane during the war and remembers the salvage blokes removing them. They were too heavy to lift in sections and so were just smashed to bits with sledgehammers. Every scrap was taken, which is why the base stones are damaged. All railings had to go for the war effort unless they protected an area which would be dangerous to pedestrians if exposed, which is why the houses in Rodney Street retained theirs.
