Former National Giro Centre, Netherton Road, Bootle
Built as the headquarters of the new Post Office Giro in 1966-68 to the designs of the Ministry of Public Building and Works. The tower is shaped like a staggered cross. Its clean, simple lines make it an impressive piece of work. There is a large complex buildings right of shot which housed computers.
The giro was privatised in 1989-90, snaffled up by the Alliance and Leicester bank, who were, in turn, snaffled up by Santander bank who are still here.

Site of Ford station
Ford station on the Fazakerley to Bootle (North Mersey) line closed in 1951 although regular freight to/from the docks continued on this line until 1971 and it was still used occasionally until 2005. Image taken in 1959 shows this area from the other direction. There is no hint now of the station or of the once extensive railway sidings ("Aintree sorting sidings") apart from one rusting track disappearing into the undergrowth.

A surprisingly busy road for an industrial estate on a Saturday afternoon. I had to wait some time to get even this much clear road in the shot.
