It\u2019s bordered by Childwall Valley Road, Belle Vale Road, Kings Drive, and Lee Vale Road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bridge Inn on Childwall Valley Road is abandoned. I\u2019m guessing someone will buy it and build apartments. Further along is Belle Vale Police Station. I\u2019ve been to the custody suite quite a few times in the past as I was a volunteer for their identity parade lineups. Just along from that is the new Fire Station which replaced the old red bricked building. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Made from reinforced concrete and red sandstone, the Lee Park Obelisk was erected in the 1960s when the estate was built. It\u2019s known as a gateway structure, marking the entrance to the new estate although the sign saying \u2018Lee Park Estate\u2019 is long gone. The three gaps originally had seats in them, and two of the three circles at the front had trees with the raised circle hosting a lamp post. I\u2019ve managed to track down a photo where someone has recreated what it used to look like. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"487\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/itsafrogslife.net\/grahamruns\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/maisonette.jpg?resize=640%2C487&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Maisonettes - one two-storey house on top of another.\" class=\"wp-image-1774\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/itsafrogslife.net\/grahamruns\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/maisonette.jpg?w=960&amp;ssl=1 960w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/itsafrogslife.net\/grahamruns\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/maisonette.jpg?resize=300%2C228&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/itsafrogslife.net\/grahamruns\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/maisonette.jpg?resize=768%2C584&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption>Maisonettes &#8211; one two-storey house on top of another.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Lee Park used to have tower blocks and maisonettes, now demolished. For those of you who don\u2019t know, a maisonette is a four storey structure comprising one house (2nd floor and third floor) on top of another (ground floor and first floor). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So I was running along one road when I heard someone shouting \u201cGRAHAM!!!\u201d. It turns out I\u2019d run past <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/jeanjacques.sillito?__cft__[0]=AZWZPJCT5c2r-ym7Woma_N4FlKtBqToxxAlOfoOZymog-rW2PYea6jkECfJaThl75uAQ3YGW16o4cz1dCYE8k47H7keQDk3GRrKanrSEOEMLa8Iy3EvpD0p7ZJUMLT5-62I&amp;__tn__=-]K-R\">Jean-Jacques<\/a>&#8216;s house and he just happened to be outside and saw me! Jean-Jacque is a sports physio who works at the Lifestyles Fitness Centre at Liverpool Aquatics Centre. He introduced me to his family and we got a lovely photo to mark the occasion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kevin Robertson lived on Fordcombe Road and was my best friend during my time at secondary school. We bonded over a shared love of Elvis, Shakin\u2019 Stevens, rock n roll, Doctor Who, Blakes 7, The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, science fiction books, Monty Python, Blackadder, and much more. We spent many hours in each other\u2019s bedrooms listening to albums and talking about the latest episodes. We went to concerts and Doctor Who conventions together. We\u2019d send each other postcards when we went on holiday. I addressed mine to Arthur Wensleydale, and he sent his to Eric the Half a Bee. Our parents must have thought we were crazy! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Marsham Road has no houses on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I took a photo of St Stephen&#8217;s Church from the end of St Stephens Close. This is my mum and dad&#8217;s church. I&#8217;ll take more photos when I get to run past it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the end of my run I came across an Incredible Edible site. Incredible Edible is a community-focused project found across the UK which aims to bring people together and connect them through a shared love of food, encouraging people to grown food for themselves and others, to share this food, to cook it and eat it, and to give back to others. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.incredibleedible.org.uk\/\">Check them out<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"fb-post\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/grahamholland\/posts\/10158129009391275\" 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> [29\/12\/20] All the streets in Lee Park<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: 29 streets<br>Total: 2,439 (43.38%)<br>Remaining: 3,213<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/nNezn09lAC\">https:\/\/t.co\/nNezn09lAC<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/nappeJTByL\">pic.twitter.com\/nappeJTByL<\/a><\/p>\u2014 Graham runs&#8230;
