I didn't realise there was a plaque on the clock tower unfortunately. I still have Edge Hill to do, which is sort of round there, so I might have a wander back. <BR/><BR/>Bootle Oriel Road is spanking clean now, but it's an architectural mess instead.<BR/><BR/>BTW nice to hear from you again Mr D!Scott Willisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02284196034782356946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8329761583210135212.post-40136858147209131232009-03-01T21:13:00.000+00:002009-03-01T21:13:00.000+00:00You finally did WTP!Had it been eight months earli...You finally did WTP!<BR/><BR/>Had it been eight months earlier, we could have met... I used to work at one of the companies based in WTP, and loved to take long walks around the district. Wavertree (or at least the roads connecting Edge Lane Retail Park to the Wavertree district) is a bit manky, but the clock tower more than makes up for it. Did you read the poem inscribed on the plaque?<BR/>If you carry on further than Wavertree, you'll end up in Allerton, which is much, much nicer.<BR/><BR/>Remember when I mentioned an old pub called The Botanic? That's completely flat land now.<BR/><BR/>I went around all of the stations in Merseytravel's C1 while my Trio ticket was still in effect. Aigsburth has a nice park.
