Looks a lot less forbidding than it did when I went there

The guy at the left, back row, is Parry. I can't remember if his name was Roy or David

This gives a good view of the "secret" sunbathing venue on the Rectory roof. In the sixth form during free periods we used to climb up through the hatch in the ceiling of the toilet, allowing access to the roof and perfect views of approaching teachers!

I can still see Mr Scales walking across the field with his master's gown billowing in the wind. What would he think of all this?

I have a feeling the sandstone blocks used for the building of the Rectory may have come from the vast tunneling works of Joseph Williamson at Edge Hill who excavated that area from 1806 until he died in 1840. The obvious places to purchase the stone would have been Woolton Quarry or the Quarry at Everton however, these would have proved expensive, Williamson, a religious man never sought to make profit from his excavations indeed St Judes Church (now demolished) which stood on the site of the Royal Liverpool Hospital was built from the sandstone taken from JWs excavations.

This photograph and the other photographs from hereon were taken on a very warm day on Friday 30.08.02 just before the start of the new term. I was bitterly disappointed at the state of the new buildings built on our old sports field since my last visit. Who's idea was it to build oversized rabbit hutches sandwiched between the majestic gothic Rectory and the elegance of the quadrant! It is a crime of monumental proportions for which they should bring back hanging!

You can see the commemorative stones set into the wall each side of the main entrance here (see close ups) The one on the left refers to Mr Alsop the one on the right refers to the Earl of Crawford. I'm ashamed to admit, I did not give these stones close examination during my time at Alsop however my love for local history had not yet then developed.
