Oldest House in Bootle
This little house near the junction of Merton Road with Hawthorne Road is the oldest house in Bootle. The adjacent more modern house, now used as a solicitors, is dated 1773. The name Bootle comes from the Anglo Saxon "Bold" or "Botle" meaning a dwelling, it is mentioned in the Domesday Book and Merton Road was an ancient route from the shore to Walton-on-the-Hill. Bootle was originally a small rural hamlet built near the 'sand hills' or dunes of the river estuary with an abundant supply of fresh water from its springs. The settlement began to grow as a bathing resort for wealthy residents of Liverpool in the early 19th century.

Bootle Tannery
The old Bootle Tanning Co building stands at the junction of Well Lane and Waterworks Street replacing the original Litherland Road Tannery. This had been built at this location to take advantage of the aquifer beneath Waterworks Street. The adjacent waterworks had drawn water from this source since the 1700's. This later building, opened in 1900, is typical of a warehouse building of that era, cast iron pillars, wooden floors and brickwork with rounded corners. Now considered an eyesore, there have been plans over the years to convert the original building to apartments and construct houses on the site of the dilapidated office and warehouse buildings.
