The Liverpool Tapestry:
People, Places and Passions

“
I have always loved Sefton Park
and used to take my children
there when they were young.
The landscaping in Sefton Park
has always appealed to me,
particularly the Fairy Glen. There
is a story associated with the
Glen of a gentleman falling in
love with a servant and his family
breaking up the romance. The
lovers agreed to meet a year later
and this promise they both kept,
but there had been a typhoid
outbreak in Liverpool, which had
killed the lady, and so she kept
the appointment as a ghost.
In 2008 Sefton Park received a
grant from the European Union
for refurbishment. Now my
daughter takes my grandson to
Sefton Park.”
