As a kid, I often wondered where the buses I saw headed for idylic sounding faraway places like Lydiate, Thornton, Lyme Cross and Longview were actually going. My dad didn't drive so when we went on buses and trains, the places seemed to take ages to get to and where in another part of the world, not just another part of town. I remember the first 2 were Ribble destinations, the journey commencing at Skelhorne Street bus station and the other 2 were Corpy buses, the 9C and the 10D.

Although we don't seem to have many Huyton posters on Yo, I thought i'd post up these I got out of the Longview Farm Estate. Like Dovecot Place, and Broadway, and Speke et al, they hail from the art deco 1930s period when so many districts were born out of what was once farmland. Through the entrance on the first photo can be found Lyme Cross Road Square which is on the bottom photo.
