Mere Bank - Ullet
Road|
Sorry no picture available |
Douglas Horsefall who was associated with St. Agne's Church on Ullet Road built a house for himself near to the church, this was Merebank. It was built in 1886 and designed by, R.Norman Shaw, in the half-timbered and tile-hung Wealdon style - apparently with a largely classical interior. Horsefall died there 1936. In the late 1950s and early 60s I remember this as a partly ruined house
that one walked along side of the side of to get to Sefton Park, however Merebank was eventually demolished by Liverpool Corporation in
1965.
