is for anyone who would like to explore
and learn more about Liverpool,
Merseyside, Wirral and the surrounding
areas (the red box on the map). The site
name was adopted from a famous ancient tree in
Calderstones Park in the south of
Liverpool. |

PLEASE NOTE THAT SINCE 2020 I AM NO LONGER UPDATING THIS SITE. Inevitably some things will become out of date so please bear this in mind. Fifteen years has been a good run and the site has generated tremendous feedback from (mostly) appreciative users, to whom my thanks. |
|
|
The site is organised into
three large sections: |
|
 |

A large number of original
photos and other illustrations, with
history, architecture and much more,
organised by region. |
 |
merseyWalks
Illustrated descriptions
of some of the best walks in the area
with mobile and printer friendly options. |
 |
merseyThemes
Detailed and lavishly
illustrated, cross-regional special
features. |
|
| I hope
you enjoy your visit and I would like to
offer you a warm Scouse welcome
(Liverpudlians are of course known as Scousers,
after the gastronomic delight of boiled
root vegetables and meat we are thought
to eat all the time). Merseysiders are
proud of their region, and rightly so. It
is exceptionally rich in history,
culture, interest and visual appeal as I
hope you will agree. If allertonOak
satisfies your curiosity about
Merseyside, causes pangs of nostalgia if
you are an expat or simply gets you away
from the telly, then it will have served
its purpose. Best of all, why not visit
Merseyside and take a look for yourself. |
