Penketh Hall - (2) Smithdown Road

14th May 1909 This photograph was originally taken to show the Mulberry Tree in the foreground, which would have been a venerable tree to have reached this size. The hall is clearly in an advanced state of disrepair or demolition. Parts of the photograph, not presented here, show distant greenhouses and even more distant chimneys - the latter, presumably, of  houses on nearby Smithdown Road or Lidderdale Road. The grounds of the hall sloped down to Lidderdale road, the boundary being made by the Upper Brook which would, in 1909, have still flowed at the surface. Housing and shops now occupy the site of Penketh Hall 3j
