I never ventured North of Dale Street but I’m sure many other posters will have memories.

And, I’m pretty sure the Globe is the only surviving pub in Park Road as well.

I read this earlier and although I'm not from the area it makes me sad to see how communities have been ripped apart and the area allowed to become derelict and wasteland.

I used to regularly drive along the dock road between Bootle and the city for work and wondered why so many beautiful and historical buildings couldn't be repurposed, especially the big Victorian warehouse type buildings.

Such a shame and no doubt they've been bulldozed now 😔

You can buy a luxury apartment in one of those warehouses;

The Crown Vaults in Kirkdale Road?

There was a place down there that I visited to see one of my trainees who worked there, some sort of Customs place for wine merchants. 

I can't remember the name of it now, I just remember it being packed to the rafters with alcohol ☺️

I also had trainees in the offices at P&O.  Christ was that a scary place to drive through!

All that area back in the 90s looked abandoned and desolate, hardly a soul anywhere yet it must have been packed with workers just a few decades earlier.

It runs into Scottie Road, maybe he means Eagle Vaults, which is on Scottie Road and looked open a week or so ago
