The Bootle Well

**walriley** · 07-09-2008

Hi folks!
Just been on the internet, trying in vain to find the location of the fabled 'Bootle well'. does anyone have a clue where it was, and is there still any evidence of it's existence today?
Ta!

Hi Wal
seen your stuff on Flickr

I've found this bit mentioning the well but not it's location.

sadly I don't have any of my late grandads maps, as he worked for the Corpy water dept. might be worth asking in Linacre One ( I think it's called) on Linacre Rd. it's got local photos in the window.

No mention of it that I can find in the book 'Bootle and Orrell' by Peter W. Woolley.

The well is situated on the premises of Bruce and Hyslop on Well lane, just off Park St in Bootle

My late husband used to work there many years ago and I remember him telling me about it.
