New Developments at allertonOak
Issue 2008/2 (22nd July 2008)
merseySights
Lots of new items on
Little Crosby, Thornton, Freshfield and Hoylake in connection with the new walks in those areas. There's also much new material on the Allerton mansions and the interiors of both cathedrals and St. Georges's Hall.
merseyThemes
A new theme that's not featured in merseySights is the
Tall Ships Parade of Sail 2008, evocative pictures of an exhilarating day.

merseyWalks
Three new walks to try:
Little Crosby and Thornton, Freshfield and Formby Moss and Hoylake to West Kirby

merseyPubs
Sorry, no new pubs this time

merseyFlights
This is the new, snappier name for merseyFromAbove. A major update here thanks to Brendon Cox - about 20 great new
aerial photographs.

Issue 2008/1 (31st March 2008)
merseySights
There's a lot of new stuff on
Alvanley, Bebington, Bootle, Burton, Crosby, Frodsham, Gayton, Helsby, Kirkby, Knowsley, Litherland, Lydiate, Maghull, Melling, Plemstall, Saughall, Shotwick, Stoak and Thornton-le-Moors. Also some pictures of stormy weather on the Mersey. I've continued to add original historical writings, in particular, about Allerton Hall, the Mersey Fisheries, the Mersey ferries, Bathing at Liverpool, the Tower of Liverpool, St. Nicholas's Church, Water Street, DaleStreet and Chapel Street.
merseyThemes
merseyThemes is a new feature allowing access to some of the merseySights material via themes rather than by geographical location. There are initially four themes: old churches, lighthouses, windmills and sandstone. I hope you will find this interesting, athough more complete information is still held in merseySights.
merseyWalks
One new walk:
Waterloo to Maghull.

merseyPubs
Three new pubs, all of which are old favourites of mine: the
Ring O'Bells at Frodsham, the White Lion at Alvanley and the Bunbury Arms at Stoak.
