Some more.

Don't talk to me about alternative routes .... here's the inseparables doing their Romeo and Juliet bit ...

Looks like he's doing his Spiderman impression! Good catch.

what may i ask is that strange wall?

wasc there a tunnel there at some point?

I think it was just a part that had been renewed.

The tunnel was the Kingsway, under the Mersey.

LOL cool gang keep them coming!

i used to live in priory road , just at the back of those houses , my uncle used to live in that one with the cladding.The new wall replaced, if i remember rightly, a set of stone steps , that you could access at both sides , then met at the middle , that then led to a pathway that ran up the hill towards the houses , if that makes any sense

Correct toffeenose - steps either side led up to Beaconsfield Road off Desmense Street

i think the steps led up to Lowry Bank

Yes, there's some further up the promenade, good show

Looking at it again after reading yours and Ste posts I'm thinking of the steps a little further up the prom

Those steps , and that hill , and the COSA to the left of this pic , and Demesne St park to the right , are where i spent a lot of my mispent youth...... great days...... i think the pic called " chips 25p" is the COSA roof and that sign was painted there for the tall ships crowds, unbelievable how much that stretch of prom has changed in recent years.

I too spent most of my younger days in that area , born in Chapel Street off Desmesne Street (1940) moved to Moreton in 1955

i've got roots in Moreton too , esp Harvest Lane..

It used to look like a bridge over what looked like a waterfall although on reflection, it was probably meant to be a wave crest?!

In the space that was bricked up used to be some victorian toilets or am I mistaken? They were very run down by the 70's and were removed and the brickwork put up?

I have confirmed this on older maps, the steps were still in place after 1970 and appear on aerial photography in Dec 2007.

i think they were a little further along...

Yes now I've seen the aerial shot its clearer. The toilets were around there though I am sure. Anyone remember?

Yes the toilets where just before the steps leading from the prom to the Desmesne Street park and bowling greens

This might help

great picture, i can even see the shelters in Desmesne St park
