Walton Hall Park over 50 years

These are some of our family photos of Walton Hall Park in Liverpool, covering a period of at least 50 years. The first two photos are difficult to date exactly but are probably from the 1940's. (note; the music is intended for headphones rather than speakers) The park was under threat from developers, but has now been saved. The following was written during the fight to to save it ... Walton Hall Park is a much-loved and much-needed green oasis within a densely built-up and congested area. The entire park has survived unscathed through financial hard times, depression and a world war, but now, astonishingly, it is under threat from "developers" who wish to build a housing estate, retail outlets and other constructions on it. This blatant environmental vandalism is being classed as a "regeneration project" by Liverpool City Council. It is exactly the opposite! It is a degeneration of our local environment, which will negatively impact the health and well-being of the people of Walton. Please support the campaign to STOP all building on our park and save it for future generations, the families and the children .... http://waltonhallparkcommunity.org/ Update May 2016: The immediate threat to the park from developers has been stopped. Music: "Walton Hall Park" composed and played by Dave Rogers, Liverpool, 2015, using Cubase, Edirol Orchestra, Korg Wavestation and guitar. ref n3s1.
