Cattle That Once Lined The Streets Of Crosby

CATTLE once lined the streets of Crosby and as old photographs show.
A reader has submitted two photographs cows walking along St Luke's Road in around 1934.
They show the late John Bootle, when he was around three or four years old and have been submitted by his widow Cherie Bootle, who now lives in Mersey Road.

Cherie, who grew up in Brownmoor Lane near the dairy in Endbutt Lane and recalled how cows would go past her house and into Brownmoor Park to the fields at the back.
Her late husband John used to live in St Luke's Road and the photographs show him with the cattle in his road.

The dairy was owned by Mr Hall and his cows would travel through Crosby Village and into DeVilliers Estate, which were then fields.
The building in the photograph is the former Jim Armstrong Warehouse.
