I know this is not strictly Bootle, but it not far!!!
Does anyone remember a little cottage on the corner of
Ormskirk road and Park lane..faced the main road, and backed
onto the cottages behind, which are still there
It was demolished some time in the 1950's along with my
grandma's front garden in Warbreck Moor, opposite the Queens Arms,
for a road widening scheme
I haven't got a clue what it was called, but the family name I remember
was Hegarty, and they were somehow related to my gran.
Hope you wonderful peeps out there could shed some light
Here's hoping
Kind regards
PJ

Hi pj
One of our site posters, Rivermersey, has a collection of pics from around the Old Roan, Aintree and Netherton area some are early 1950s. Here are a few he posted:

Hi Dave
thank you for your reply
I had previously seen the photos from rivermersey and what
memories they brought back..
I have to say that when I saw the one from dunningsbridge road
with the house on the right, all alone and waiting for neighbours,
I was gobsmacked, as this appears to be my family's first home,
which was at the very end of Homestead ave, and I have never
seen photos of it before I went all a bit wobbly!!!!!
Thanks again, and yes I will email rivermersey
regardsPJ

Here's the only pictures I could find around Aintree station they show the old bridge and ticket office. Views are from both sides of the bridge.
You can just see the old Sefton Arms pub in the background.

Thank you for those photos from so close to where I was brought up. I can almost smell the smoke from the steam trains as they went under the bridge. There used to be a signal box opposite the booking office where my father often worked as a signalman.I went a few years ago to take a photo but alas it was gone.
Does anyone know where the actual boundary line was between Liverpool and Bootle? I think it the railway line was in Liverpool but then anything to the side away from the Sefton Arms was in Bootle.

Many thanks for the photies of Aintree station.
What year were they taken?
I also think you have captured the cottage in question, although
my childhood memory is that it was much smaller, but then again
I dont think there would have been room for another proptery on
that corner.
thanks again
regards
