Fishing Lake, Walton Hall Park
Walton Hall Park dates back to 1199, when Henry de Walton was steward of the West Derby Hundred, but it was not until 1934 that King George V opened the 130-acre park to the public, on the same day as he opened the Mersey Tunnel. The park features a play area, a pet's corner and football pitches. There is also a lake for model boating and another larger one for fishing. This is the smaller lake, the larger one is in the background.

The 'new order' at Walton on the Hill locomotive depot
A 'Brush Type 2' locomotive ironically photographed just a year before the depot closed in December 1963. This is number D5857, one of the last in the class, which entered service in September of 1962 and so was just 3 months old when photographed. The class was later designated 'Class 31', this one becoming 31322. It was withdrawn from service in 1989.

Former Prince of Wales pub on Rice Lane
The pub has the nickname of "The Sod House". It may have got the nickname from King Edward VII, who after making a royal visit to a nearby Zoo, entered the establishment for refreshments, and proclaimed the pub to be a "Sod House" for reasons unknown.
The pub has been closed for some time.

An 'Austerity' 2-8-0 locomotive at Walton on the Hill depot
An ex-War Department (WD) locomotive no.90010 stands in the front of the engine shed.
935 of these locomotives were constructed for the British War Department by the North British Co. and Vulcan Foundry between 1943 and 1945, for wartime use. Almost all were used in Europe during the latter stages of the war. They were designated 'Austerity' as they were built as cheaply as possible and expected to have a limited lifespan.
After the war, 733 of the engines were taken into British Railways stock and were used throughout the network almost exclusively on goods trains and were invariably very grimy. The last was withdrawn in 1967. One of the type survives at the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway it having been imported from Sweden.
Walton on the Hill depot stood beside the Huskisson branch which ran from Halewood to Aintree and which was very busy with goods trains until the early sixties. As it happens, this photo was taken just a year before the depot closed in December 1963. The line closed in 1975 and was lifted in 1978. The site of the shed is now occupied by housing and no trace of the railway survives.
