Much Woolton Old School
Much Woolton Old School on Church Lane off Speke Road, constructed of locally quarried red sandstone. Date unknown, I am led to believe that the date given on the lintel of 1610 is not correct. The oldest Elementary School in Lancashire

Camp Hill, Woolton
The earliest known settlement in Much Woolton is the Iron Age encampment, located in Camp Hill but, because a Victorian Villa was built on the site, it is difficult to ascertain how long the camp was occupied or who may have built it. On a clear day it offers fine views of the surrounding areas and across the river Mersey to the Wirral and North Wales

Camp Hill: The Sunken Garden
When the City of Liverpool acquired the Woolton Woods and Camp Hill sites in the 1920s, the Dutch Garden of Meditation was created here in 1928. The pool and garden ornaments in that garden have long since disappeared and the area is now known as the Sunken Garden.

Sunken Garden, Woolton Woods
Woolton Woods originally formed part of the estate of Woolton Hall, which from 1772 was owned by the Ashton family. The site was purchased from the Gaskell family in 1917 for £12,000 by Col James P Reynolds of Dove Park (Reynolds Park), who was the last owner of the property. He sold most of the estate to Liverpool Corporation, but dedicated the 10 acre strip of land fronting Woolton Woods to be used as a recreation ground for local people.
The 'Dutch Garden of Meditation' was created in 1928 and although the pool and garden ornaments have long since disappeared, it is still a sheltered and tranquil spot, now known as the 'Sunken Garden'.
