Those last two comparisons of Hawthorne Rd, leading up to the Christ Church roundabout are great. TBH it looked a lot better back then. 🙂

Totally agree 👍

Another interesting one Paul.
Just out curiosity, am I right thinking that Litherland was once part of Bootle, and boundaries later divided?
I had the impression that Litherland may be the older due to the origin of the name.

I think you might be right.....looking at Bootle golf course as it's now in netherton...I think the boundaries have been changed over the years....wikipedia has more information on the origins of litherland.🙂

Thank you.

Wasn’t bootle mentioned in the doomsday book tho? Botel or something, meaning “a dwelling”
