Image: © Peter Whatley Taken: 17 Jan 2012
Typical of the suburban dual carriageways constructed in Liverpool's outer suburbs in the 1920s/30s, Walton Hall Avenue retains its broad main carriageway and wide, tree-lined central reservation. Entirely suitable for its sometime role as the main highway from Liverpool's docks toward the rest of Lancashire. A classic of town planning.
