Rhino...I think it's still Rocky Lane at this point.
Great pics, Marky, Taffy, and PhilipG! Also great to learn more about the so-called Hunting Lodge in Holmefield Road, of which I have pleasant memories and a colour pic of my own taken in the Sixties that I will try to post sometime when I get it scanned.

Seems like the Elephant's Head pub in Woolton has gone for a Burton.....
http://icliverpool.icnetwork.co.uk/l...name_page.html
Yep it looks like the place will be renamed but the actual elephant's head looks will be restored and put back up. Quoting from that article:
"But a spokeswoman for new owners, the Korova group, today denied the famous statue had been damaged or destroyed.
She said: “The elephant head wasn’t sledge-hammered off, it was taken down.
“It was a bit rickety and it will be restored and put back up. The whole place is being restored.
“The name will change, but the new name hasn’t been confirmed yet.”
I wonder how the claim could be made that the head was "sledge-hammered off" when it wasn't!!!

Several of these carved Lions' heads under the windows at the Cunard Building
Two lions heads on the somewhat battered door of the old Wavertree Town Hall
Thanks, Taffy. Both pics are great to see.

Spotted on Drury House office building
Built as stables, but was a cinema from 1909 to 1929.

And the Head Is In my homeland too.
Been there many times for DIY materials.
So was the old Brook House on that site before the stables?

No, it was the Town side of Lidderdale Road, set back from Smithdown Road. (before Lidderdale Road was built).
Wavertree had two towns eh, cool.
