Phil: I think I know who you are now; ! I was sat at the back of the church with a black coat on.
Did you buy the book? I have done, and must say it is a great little piece of work; quite reasonably priced as-well!
I took a few films which should end up on myspace at some point in time; dont expect the best quality though, my camera isn't all that hot on films!

Talking about Walton. Is the Herbal Shop still there. AS youngsters we always went there for a Pint of Sars. And a packet of Woodies.
They also sold Vimto as well as a load of other soft drinks straight from the porcelain barrels on the shelf behind the counter, The shop was in at the front of St Marys as I remember. There was another Milk Bar further down the road almost opposite the Hospital (Used to work there,the hospital), but it didn't have the character of the Herbal. I must agree with Walton not being what it was though. My wife and I were back in Liverpool in 2003 for the first time in twenty five years. We went to where I used to live (Sonning Rd off Richard Kelly Drive) and it looked like a slum. Houses looking decrepit and uncared for, some with windows boarded up,and worst of all. Not a tree to be seen. When we left it was a lovely road, the trees in summer would almost touch one another over the road making a tunnel, and the people that lived there took pride in the presentation of their homes....WHAT THE F*** HAPPENED???
That Lord Mayor's grin = Creepy.
Gididi Gididi Goo.
Just prepairing an update for Flickr;
Does anyone have any info on Walton Park? ie When it was built and all the general things like that. I am guessing the railway had something to do with it as Walton Station is closer to Walton Park than Hornby Road! There is also a walkway between the two as-well.
Any info would be greatly appreciated and full credit will be given on the Walton page!
Many Thanks
Russ

A STREET of Victorian terraced houses once destined for the wrecking ball has been saved and restored, with the first show home opening today.
Every house on Tancred Road in Anfield, near Liverpool football club’s ground, has been uninhabitable for the last eight years and residents have fought to keep them standing. continues...
From Wikipedia
'Walton Hall Park in Walton, Liverpool, England is 130 acre park. It was opened to the public on July 18, 1934 by King George V when he visited Liverpool to open the Queensway Tunnel. The origins of the park date back to Henry de Walton steward of the West Derby hundred in 1199.'

The family also owned Leighton Hall near Welshpool, Montgomeryshire and seemed to live in both houses at different times of the year. This would explain the Welsh staff. John Naylor was born in Liverpool but his father came from Cheshire. John Naylor for a time in the 1840s lived at the Manor House, Liscard, Wallasey. The family also lived in Rodney St but subsequently converted the house into a branch of the Bank of North and South Wales of which they were directors. This later became the Midland Bank and these days HSBC Bank.
Yes, I noticed the Naylor child was born in Walton and thought that the father might be from Liverpool.
Very interesting to find out how a bank came to be in Rodney Street.
It always seemed to be the only bank in quite a large area.
The ones near the university being comparitively new.
Funnily enough the next nearest bank (apart from Bold Street) was probably the N & S Wales Bank at Great George Place (the building is still there).
