Woolton Park, LIVERPOOL, L25 6DT

Woolton Hill Road was described in The Enclosure Act of 1805 as Red Brow, "40 ft wide, where hitherto the cows and sheep of Gateacre had drifted to their common pastures". Woolton Hill would have been common land of rough scrubland and red sandstone outcrops prior to becoming a favoured location for wealthy merchants to build grand country mansions. The house to the right is simply named "The Cottage" on early maps and is linked to the grand house Baycliff built in 1869-71 (now the residence of Liverpool's Anglican bishops known as Bishop's Lodge).

Cliff Cottage and Woolton Hill Road lodge to Reynolds Park were part of the Dennison estate. The original two storey cottage was built at the beginning of the 19th century but much extended over the following seventy years or so. The Little Woolton Township Quarry lay between the back drive of Bishop's Lodge and Cliff Cottage, the area now called Parkwood Road. It is possible that the original cottage was connected to this stone quarry as the chimney has a flue which links to a stone chamber with fireplace 15ft below, which was most likely a quarryman's shelter. Between Cliff Cottage and Reynolds Park Lodge lies a further disused stone quarry.

Grade II listed cottages at the junction of Cuckoo Lane with Woolton Road. The delightful corner cottage is like a gingerbread house with its architectural detailing, it was once a smithy and later a shop, it is now a nursery.

The area to the right of the path has been planted with wildflowers.

Originally the entrance lodge to the early 19th century Dennison's House which was situated adjacent to the deep stone quarry on Woolton Hill Road. Although the house was demolished in 1886 the driveway to the house continued to be known as 'Denison's Road' and lead to Dove Park, later to be renamed Reynold's Park http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/386418.
