| What
is allertonOak? |
| allertonOak is a site for
all those interested in Liverpool and the
extended Merseyside area (the red box on the
map). At merseySights you will find
hundreds of original photos with commentary,
including local history and personal thoughts,
and links to more specialised sites, all grouped
by geographical region. If you would prefer a
content-based approach to part of the material,
see merseyThemes. At merseyWalks there are illustrated
descriptions of the best walks in the area, which
also take in many of the sights. Other areas of
the site are merseyFlights, aerial photographs of
the region, and merseyPlaceNames, a comprehensive guide
to the origins of local place names. A brand new
feature is merseyEngravings, 18th and 19th century
engravings of the region. Remember that you can
search allertonOak using Google
by typing allertonoak.com into the 'Search

| I
hope you enjoy your visit and I would like to
offer you a warm Scouse welcome (Liverpudlians
are known as Scousers, after the
gastronomic delight of boiled root vegetables and
meat we are thought to eat all the time).
Merseysiders are proud of their region, and
rightly so. It is rich in history, interest and
visual appeal as I hope you will agree (it's not
all football and the Beatles). If allertonOak
satisfies your curiosity about Merseyside, causes
pangs of nostalgia if you are an expat or simply
gets you away from the telly, then it will have
served its purpose. Best of all, why not visit
Merseyside and take a look for yourself. By the
way, the Allerton Oak is an ancient tree in
Calderstones Park, South Liverpool (about which
more elsewhere). |
