These photos are from the pages of the Bootle Centenary Celebrations 1935 Souvenir booklet I came across hope that it is of some interest.

Hi bonesy they are great photos. Just wondering if anyone has any info on "Alex STARKEY" who is part of the Bootle charter group photo. Thinking he may be a relo although he doesn't appear in my family tree.

I managed to get Richard's copy of the Journal of the Institution of Municipal & County Engineers.

It contains an 88 page report from William Arthur Harrison, the Borough Engineer & Surveyor presented

to members of the above institution on April 7 1938.

I'll scan it and post it in parts.


I missed out on a copy of the Bootle Times Centenary insert from 1935. I put in an early bid but missed a later bid.

There's a copy in the LSE library. Then I googled it. Who would have guessed, this site came up.

I've reposted Keith's photos taking out the photobucket logo.
