[...] top of the tower (not sure what you’d call it, observation room perhaps?) was removed nearly two years ago – the views from up there must be fantastic! At the time of the 2006 [...]

I still would love to see photos of the sandhills and the air-raid shelters before they built Queens park.

Thought they might have been using the tennis courts, remember the lovely grass courts in Queens Park?

Just looking at my photo …managed to get a telephone line across the top and it looks a bit wonky too!

Presumably, they’ll need to put something back on top to protect the inside from the weather.

@Peter, yes, I wondered that about the paint too.

@Babs, yeah I’ve seen them running around the outside and playing footy. Teachers don’t seem to do much running though !

According to my son they go running there (Kingsmead pupils) He said its more fun than just running round the field, and then they play football. So now we know! As to the conservatory bit, I always wanted to be able to sit up there in the shelter and watch the world go by, or rather not go by!

The fake lighthouse looks so much smarter without a uPVC conservatory perched on the top, hope it stays that way!

Amazing, in fact astonishing, to see some remedial work on the long neglected Meols Parade Gardens altho, given the location, not sure painting the wall is a good idea unless it is done on an almost annual basis! I always thought Kingsmead had acres of playing fields but good if schools actually make use of these gardens too. What on earth has prompted such activity by Wirral Council? Must be the influence of Hoylake & Meols in Bloom!
