High Park Street Reservoir


Dear Sir/Madam,
I have just returned from a visit to Liverpool 8.
Near to Park Strreet Job Centre was a red stone construction that looked at least one hundred years old.
I thought it might be a water resevoir. The structure was about the size of a football pitch - and at one corner it had a tower abour 20/30 feet high.
A Liver Bird was carved over the metal door.
Can anyone tell me what this structure was originally built for, when and who by?
Your faithfully,
Paul Mooney

  1. I remember going to see a relative in High Park street in the late forties. I went with my father to the farm there I believe it was belonging to Idrys Mason a distant cousin. The farm was at No 53 and I saw cows there, a rare sight in the heart of Liverpool. I was about six at the time.Well,well,well.
    Big O
