It never occurred to me as a small child in the 70s that it was such a focal point of the landscape. In the mid 90s I did a lot of work on the water mains in Aintree and Walton, and was often a visitor to the jail. Another thing that struck me about the area, was the amount of houses that appear to have originally been built for and owned by families with a decent income. Many have still got their original balconies and terraces with wooden features and can be seen in various states of disrepair. It lends an eerie quality to the area.
