    In St Bart’s church yard there is a large memorial to Evelyn, Princess Blücher, daughter of Frederick Stapleton-Bretherton, who married Prince Blücher, G G grandson of Marshal “Vorwärts” Blücher of Waterloo fame. She wrote a memoir of her exile to Berlin during WW1 called “An English Wife in Berlin”

    Brilliant as always 👍
    Skew bridge is at the Liverpool end of Rainhill station platform.
    It’s grade II listed & built using sandstone from the local quarry.
    It’s the first skew road bridge over a railway in the world & was also a first for the 34 degree angle it was built (hence the name ‘skew’).

    Near the quarry in Rainhill there’s a stone cross and it’s rumoured to be the grave of Oliver Cromwell’s favourite horse 🐎

    You forgot to mention the first railway accident happened on the same day as the Rainhill Trials. There is a monument to Thomas Huskisson who sadly died after being hit by Rocket, just east of Parkside Rd[A573] near Newton le Willows. It can only be seen from the train and only really clearly in winter. Unless you have a drone of course....

      Just passed Tower College on Mill Lane on righthand side at the top of the hill there is a an old sandstone cross. When I was a kid in the early 70s my mates and I knew it as Oliver Cromwells horses grave. Do yo know if there's any truth in this?

      Or you could equally as quick (and less muddy) just cross the roundabout at the stoops and drive down norlands lane.

    You could have mentioned the vulcan foundry and vulcan village, which came into existence as a result of Stephenson winning the contract to produce locos for the L&M railway.

    Also the Liverpool astronomical society is the oldest in the world.
    There's also two big reservoirs dug out of the sandstone in the same area right behind the observatory.
    Good to see you back and I love the tunes.
    A couple of my friends got pulled up on the observatory car park some years back. They also used to go there to smoke fags😁
