Don't remember it being De La Salle must have been before my time.
It was run by those lovable rogues the Christian brothers, the school was fondly referred to as Stalag 17 by many of the inmates.

We moved from Breckfield Road South in 1953 up to a new college in Croxteth, some of the Christian Brothers were as streetwise as the inmates some of them were naive compared to us. The only thing I didn’t like about the college was they played Rugby Union instead of the proper game!
We did play football not rugby,we had to take a bus to the pitches on Mabb lane Cantril Farm by the time we got there it was nearly time to come back

When we moved to Croxteth the playing fields were right next to the school and in the last year I was there we had started playing the proper game, a bit too late for me!
….coincidentally, came across these yesterday. The area very familiar as I went to John Hamilton.
Bowring Park Road - the M62 ruined it - My work place Court Hey Park & Nursery was near the Childwall end by Vernon's pools company - both gone in theory ..... -

Childwall School - 1978 - not far from my workplace -
Impressive building; is it still there?
….Courthouse, West Derby Village (still there to this day and often open to visitors);
….i think it was destroyed by fire shortly after closing in 1989. I’m sure somebody will say if I’m wrong.
If that’s the state you left the grass in it’s no wonder they put a road over it … shocking
Lancashire County were responsible back then it was due for the M62 to be built - I worked for Huyton UDC as a student Horticulturist..
M62 is there no duel carriage way no houses in the photo worth a fortune thd M62 ended at the rocket it was supposed to end at the Liverpool docks - sadly they were closed by that time ! Hence the M62 ended at the Rocket !
