Derby Hall above Tuebrook Post Office on West Derby Road, close up showing the eagle and child crest of the Earls of Derby and the date 1875 when it was built as a Masonic Hall. Marlborough Lodge No.1620, had its warrant issued on 20th May 1876, the first meetings were held in Marlborough Terrace, Tuebrook, from whence the lodge took its name, with the Lodge consecration being held on 10th September. On 5th April 1904 the lodge left Derby Hall for the Masonic Hall in Hope Street. It became a billiard hall in the 1930's, Ogden's Social Club in the 1960's and then a community hall.

Like many park herons, this individual has become habituated to human presence, allowing much closer approach than birds in wilder habitats.

Newsham Park
This 121 acre park was opened in 1868. The boating lake seen here, the larger of two lakes in the park, no longer has boats but is evidently well used by fishermen.

Newsham Park Hospital
This grade II listed building on Orphan Drive to the east of Newsham Park opened in 1874 as the Liverpool Seamen's Orphan Institution. By 1899 321 children were accommodated here and in 1900 a swimming pool was added. However, numbers declined after World War II and the orphanage closed in 1949. The building was sold to the Ministry of Health in 1951 and served as a general and psychiatric hospital until 1988 since when it has lain boarded up and abandoned, looking very unloved. A proposal to turn it into flats a few years ago fell through and the building faces an uncertain future.
