Mayfields, New Ferry, April 1976
The playing fields these Under-13s were playing on was previously a brickworks up until the 1950s. The "hill" to the right is an uncompleted landfill (it remains to this day uncompleted!) The current view from this location includes a further higher uncompleted landfill behind the landfill in this picture. To think that landfills are supposed to be converted to parks and open spaces within a year of their termination of landfill operations makes one think aghastly toward the local council. This area is one of the most deprived of the borough and to this day local Councillors still ignore it!

This site became Port Sunlight where he built his works and a model village to house its employees. From 1888, Port Sunlight village offered decent living conditions in the belief that good housing would ensure a healthy and happy workforce.
