| What is
allertonOak? |
| allertonOak is 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, superb aerial photographs
of the region, merseyPubs, a selection of my
favourite pubs and merseyPlaceNames, a comprehensive guide to
the origins of local place names. |
| 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
inspires you to visit Merseyside and take a look
for yourself, satisfies your curiosity, causes
pangs of nostalgia if you have left the area or
simply encourages you away from the TV, then it
will have served its purpose. By the way, the
Allerton Oak is an ancient tree in Calderstones
Park, South Liverpool. |
