Welcome back Wayne
The king of Liverpool joke.
The Romans had conquered most of Britain but this small place called Liverpool couldn’t be taken. After months of hand to hand fighting there was just the King left. He moved to a cave and invited the Romans to attack him, saying “I’m all on my own”. They sent in 100 men, all were killed. Completely wiped out. The king of Liverpool shouted out to the Romans “you are cowards, send in your good lads, I’m all on my own”, and they did, 500 of the best Roman troops were sent in, all but one was killed. The survivor crawled back to his Commander who asked what had happened and the soldier said “ he’s a lying barsteward, there’s two of them”……

Stayed in the Titanic Hotel last night & had a boss view of Bramley Moore. Looks impressive on the drone footage etc, but basically seeing it with my own eyes is amazing.

Find it fascinating that the pool inlet used to run inland right up to the Williamson Sq/Islington as your map shows. And Strand comes I believe from the old Norse word for beach/shore.
A great watch - thank you! The history of Liverpool and its many waterways has all been an interest of mine.
While nothing to do with our stadium, I have friends who live in the Aigburth Area and when you ask them which is the the closest river to their house...
...they often get it wrong. Most would say the Mersey, but it isn't. It's the River Jordan, which you can still see today at Aigburth Vale / Otterspool Promenade.
The source was the two brooks, one in Wavertree (hence the name of the Brookhouse on Smithdown*) and the other from top of Kensington down Edge Hill.
The lakes in Sefton Park and Greenbank are constructed from placing dams on the brooks, but a minimal flow is still allowed although in a culvert.
Jericho Lane gets its name because of the significance of the other famous river called the Jordan.
*The Brookhouse was situated where it is as it allowed a free-supply of clean water.
….really like that place, hope you took advantage of the rum bar in reception area.

I stayed there last week and was hoping to get a good view of it but it was really foggy ?
Brilliant that!For people who are unfamiliar with Liverpool, and the fact it had a castle, the castle on the map of Lerpol is where the Victoria monument is now, near the courts.
1644: Leland's Historical Map of Lerpole • Historic Liverpool
This map of 'Lerpole' (Liverpool) is two-layered: a map of Leland overlaid with Prince Rupert's Civil War siege depicted over the top of it.historic-liverpool.co.uk
So, anyone know what the origins of Lerpole are, as in naming?

Does Chris Grundy post on here as I posted this yesterday and it’s now in the Echo or just a coincidence?A great watch - thank you! The history of Liverpool and its many waterways has all been an interest of mine.
