David MartinNARRATOR
But the town of Liverpool was pushing its way up to Everton, and San Domingo Road was ceasing to be fashionable, while Aigburth, Prince's Park, and Edge Lane were rapidly becoming the most popular suburbs of the fast-rising seaport.
David MartinNARRATOR
Soon after I was born my father moved to Marsh Lane, Bootle, and there were few more charming spots at that time.
David MartinNARRATOR
I remember the grand trees which encircled Bootle Hall and overarched Marsh Lane.
David MartinNARRATOR
There dwelt in sylvan retreats the Mathers, the Birches, and the Tyrers.
David MartinNARRATOR
The trees extended down to the seashore, where Miller's Castle stood sentinel, a modern building remarkable for its keep and battlemented walls.

David MartinNARRATOR
I sometimes think that our city fathers apparently forget that our docks and our commerce are the lifeblood of Liverpool.
David MartinNARRATOR
Mr. John Bramley Moore's great work on the Dock Board was completed before my day, but he continued his interest in Liverpool to the last, and was present at the opening of the North Dock System in 1882, where I saw him.
David MartinNARRATOR
He used to tell how indefatigably he worked to secure the extension of the docks in a northerly direction, how he asked Lord Derby to present the Bootle Shore to the Dock Board, urging that it would be greatly to the gain of the Derby family.
MartinHOST
haven't we? There's lots to talk about.
OllieHOST
Yep, we've got a chocker agenda to talk through today, starting from the Town Hall Gardens in Southport to the UK's longest mural in Bootle and a whole lot more to come.
OllieHOST
Make sure you stay tuned for the rest of the show.
MartinHOST
So I was on my way into Southport today, but I didn't pass the Town Hall Gardens, but I know there's lots going on there, Ollie.
OllieHOST
And it might be serendipity, but where we're sat here in the fantastic Sopadio Studios in East Bank, we are one floor above where there is going to be a brand new food and drink offer delivered by Crosby Coffee.
OllieHOST
Crosby Coffee, of course, are an award-winning coffee house and roastery that started life... obviously, in Crosby, but have built a huge business that is now very much well respected across the Liverpool City region.
OllieHOST
So going to the other end of the borough, Martin, I believe you were in Bootle the other day.
OllieHOST
Tell us why.
Tony EvansHOST
We're interested in non-league football.
Tony EvansHOST
Andy, you were assigned Bootle Town, I believe.
Andy JonesPANELIST
I was, yeah.
Andy JonesPANELIST
I think they were 6 from 6 and then I was 7 from 7.

Hannah KersleyHOST
I'm of course talking about another heartbreaking case, the murder of James Bolger.
Hannah KersleyHOST
He was just two years old when he was taken from his mum's side in a busy shopping centre in Bootle, which is in Merseyside in Liverpool.
Hannah KersleyHOST
The search for James Bolger was massive and when CCTV emerged of him being led away by the hand by two other little boys, it was actually initially a comfort to James' mum Denise and police as they were like, well, at least he's with other kids.
Hannah KersleyHOST
Police and people across the UK who had seen that footage were just waiting for these boys to be identified, but they didn't realise the utter brutality and wickedness that these two boys were capable of.
Frank HughesHOST
But they bounced back with a 5-0 win over Litchfield City on Tuesday night.
Frank HughesHOST
The win took them up to second place in the league, just three points behind Bootle.
Frank HughesHOST
Also on Tuesday night, Bootle beat Congleton Town.
AJ VergetteHOST
That's an absolute smash and grab that one by Bootle.
AJ VergetteHOST
Bootle.
AJ VergetteHOST
Yeah, a lot of the fans saying that they were mightily relieved to see the goal going so late on, but it does preserve their...
AJ VergetteHOST
What was it now? Their...
Frank HughesHOST
Yes, indeed.

Jules EastbridgeCORRESPONDENT
Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service say crews were called to the blaze at a semi-detached property on Stone Square.
Jules EastbridgeCORRESPONDENT
Another person has been taken to hospital after the intense fire that spread very rapidly.
Tony EvansHOST
And there were loads of clubs around where, you know, you didn't know which had emerged as the most successful and prominent ones.
Tony EvansHOST
And Bootle were one of those teams.
Tony EvansHOST
James, you've been given South Liverpool now.
Tony EvansHOST
I used to have many happy days going to South Liverpool.
GaryHOST
They got through.
GaryHOST
Chorley were playing Bootle.
GaryHOST
I couldn't see the score anywhere.
GaryHOST
I got out last night.
GaryHOST
I'm trying to find it for you.
GaryHOST
So two of our centres were playing each other, Chorley and Bootle.
GaryHOST
So that was a bit of an edgy one for me.
GaryHOST
It's a Gary
