The Eagle and Child, Warrington Road
The Eagle and Child public house on the corner of Warrington Road and Scotchbarn Lane not long after it closed in 2007. The name Eagle and Child stems from the crest of the Stanley family, the Earls of Derby, much associated with this area. In 1385, Isabella de Lathom married Thomas Stanley and following this marriage, the Stanley family adopted the 'eagle and child' crest of the Lathom family and continue to use it to this day.

Two Buses in Prescot
Taken in March 1971, this photo shows two AEC Swift vehicles with Marshall 44-seater bodywork operated by St Helens Corporation Transport in Warrington Road (A57). The front vehicle is 222 (RDJ 222F) on St Helens circular route 8 via Prescot and Rainhill. This route was operated by trolleybuses until the closure of the St Helens trolleybus system on the 30th June 1958. A lamp standard which was used for trolleybus overhead wiring can be seen between the two vehicles, although these standards have long since been replaced by modern lighting standards.

The Hare and Hounds or Tommy Halls
The Hare and Hounds has been known as "Tommy Halls" for at least half a century but has recently had a facelift, a new coat of paint, a formal sign "The Thomas Hall" and the restoration of the previous Knotty Ash Ales facia, which is purely decorative as Joseph Jones hasn't brewed since 1928! Adjacent to the old pub stood the Ebenezer Chapel built in 1811 which later moved to a new church and from 1908 this site became the Welsh Congregational Chapel until its demolition in 1970 leaving the small garden which is there today.
