#everysinglestreet [20/04/21] Yew Tree Road, West Derby

Graham Holland   

I started off in Knotty Ash at the junction between Haydn Road and Elgar Road, before looping round to Yew Tree Road in West Derby.

On Princess Drive there are two plots of land where new houses are being built. And new houses mean… new roads! I think I’ll finish the current challenge before these are completed though.

There’s a house with what I can only guess is a skateboard ramp on the front drive.All of the roads in the estate opposite West Derby Golf Club are named after golf courses. Without using the map, can you look at the list of roads run and spot all of the golf courses?

St Vincent’s is a school for children with visual impairments. It’s an ‘all through’ school from Foundation Stage to Post 16. It’s the only Church of England blind school in England, and the building dates back to 1841.

Next to St Vincent’s is Zoë’s Place Baby Hospice, providing palliative, respite and end-of-life care to babies and infants. They’ve got two other sites in Coventry and Middlesbrough.

Next to Zoë’s Place are two secondary schools – Broughton Hall Catholic High School and Cardinal Heenan Catholic High School. Thanks to Jo Gibson for informing me that Broughton Hall is an all-girls school and Cardinal Heenan is all-boys.

Last week when I was driving to my parents’ house I saw a red car with a pattern over it. On the back were the words ‘Hillary sucks but not like Monica!’ I thought it was odd but I couldn’t take a photo because I was driving. So what are the odds against coming across the same car on my run today? Maybe I should buy a lottery ticket tonight!

Richard has his own grove. He kept that quiet!

Great North Run

I’m running the Great North Run for the first time on Sunday 12th September, raising money for Alzheimer’s Research UK. My mum has Alzheimers so this charity is close to my heart. If you can spare a couple of quid to help me reach my target I would be extremely grateful.
