BUILDINGS across Crosby have undergone many changes throughout the years but memories of them are retained in photographs.
The Blundellsands Hotel is one example of a building that has now been replaced by apartments.
It was built between 1890 and 1900 and was situated in The Serpentine, opposite Blundellsands and Crosby Railway Station.
The building had gardens at the back which is where the car park is now situated.
A photograph shows how in around 1908 the cold weather had turned the garden into an ice rink.
It shows families and people of all ages skating on the ice at the back of the hotel, being watched by on-lookers.
The building was demolished in recent years and replaced by the Blundellsands Classic apartments.
