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.

Railway to the west of Harris Drive
This cutting once contained the two tracks of the Fazakerley to Bootle (North Mersey) line. Only one track remains, and this apparently has been disused since 2005 (the line saw no regular traffic since it lost its connection to the docks in 1971). Although the route would make a fine cycleway, as an extension of the Liverpool Extension Line (NCN62), it seems Network Rail wants to hang on to it just in case a passenger service can be revived in future.
