I\u2019ve got a sore knee and have been resting it. I decided to test it out to see how it\u2019s healing. Ask me tomorrow how it is!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll notice if you look at the GPS trace I missed out some roads. Recently I\u2019ve been marking the roads on a map printout as I\u2019ve run them but I forgot my pen tonight and got a little confused. By the time I\u2019d got back to the car and had noticed the mistake it had started raining so I decided to leave them for another time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s a square building on West Derby Road that is, or used to be, a church. If it\u2019s still active then I hope it\u2019s nicer inside than it is on the outside. UPDATE I\u2019ve just looked it up &#8211; it\u2019s called New Road Church, and yes it\u2019s still active!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>West Derby Road is an odd road. It starts at the roundabout at the end of Muirhead Avenue and heads towards the city centre. When it gets to the junction with Lower Breck Road it turns into Rocky Lane. At the junction with Belmont Road Rocky Lane turns back into West Derby Road\u2026!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve very rarely driven along West Derby Road and hadn\u2019t appreciated the difference in height between the two carriageways running alongside Belmont Drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I took a photo of The Musical Box, the famous (in Liverpool) record store that Billy Butler used to mention on a regular basis on his radio show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Quite a few houses around here had ornate features on the outside.The house at the end of one row of terraced houses was noticeable as the \u2018front\u2019 of the house is on the side. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two semi-detached houses stood out because they didn\u2019t have pitched roofs, and the top of the wall was turreted like a castle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019d never noticed The Brook House before. It\u2019s a cottage that was built in 1615 (if I\u2019m reading the date above the door correctly). The brook was nowhere to be seen, or so I thought. When I ran to the end of the road opposite I found it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Completed a set of alphabetically arranged roads containing the word \u2018burn &#8211; Auburn Road, Bankburn, Craigburn, Deansburn, Eskburn, Fairburn, Gorseburn, and Heyburn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-facebook wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-facebook\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"fb-post\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/grahamholland\/posts\/10157910438156275\" data-width=\"552\"><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-conversation=\"none\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/everysinglestreet?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#everysinglestreet<\/a> [07\/10\/20] The top end of West Derby Road<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CityStrides?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@CityStrides<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/runeverystreet?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#runeverystreet<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/EveryStreetInLiverpool?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#EveryStreetInLiverpool<\/a> <br><br>Today: 27 streets<br>Total: 1,330 (23.64%)<br>Remaining: 4,295<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/7zRpR6c4zM\">https:\/\/t.co\/7zRpR6c4zM<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/lDV4uESDjo\">pic.twitter.com\/lDV4uESDjo<\/a><\/p>&mdash;
