When we booked up to see exhibits from the Chinese Terracotta Army at Liverpool’s World Museum, I decided that I would like to re-visit Calderstones Park, a place we used to visit as students. The park is about half a mile from where we were students at Liverpool Hope. It is hard to think that this lovely peaceful place is in a city.Calderstones Park is in South Liverpool and covers 126 acres of land. It is a large family park, beautifully maintained with lots to do. There is a children’s play area, a café, an old mansion, a lake and green spaces. Best of all Calderstones Park is home to the ancient Allerton Oak and also the Calder Stones, Neolithic (new Stone Age) stones found nearby.Calderstones Park is having a Heritage event in autumn 2018 and so it will be well worth a visit.

LiverpoolLiverpool has done a massive amount for tourism in recent years. They have had the sense to realise how much money can be made from tourism and have acted accordingly. The derelict Albert Dock has been redeveloped, there is a city tour bus, excellent restaurants and museums and here is this lovely parked which is currently being developed. The giant puppets are returning to Liverpool soon too. Exhibition Stands Manufacturers Green spaces in a cityCalderstones Park The Allerton OakThis magnificent tree is one of the oldest in Britain. It is so old that it has to have metal rods to support its branches and it is enclosed in railings to protect it. It is believed to be over 1000 years old. The trunk is beautiful. My friend gave the park an acorn from the tree which she had planted years ago as a tribute to her lovely park and they have planted it so The Allerton Oak will live on. Traditionally, The Allerton Oak was where the courts were held as there was no sheriff’s house locally. The Allerton OakThe ancient Allerton Oak The Calder StonesThe Calder Stones are housed in the Botanical Garden House which is now disused for this purpose. Botanical HouseBotanic house The Neolithic StonesNeolithic means “new stone” and these stones were found close by the park and removed there for safety.

They are thousands of years old and are believed to be the remains of a dolman, an ancient tomb, as they were found with burial urns, ashes and bones. The stones have some carvings in them and also some footprints in the ancient soil on the stones. It was thought they were part of a henge or stone circle but they are now believed to be part of an ancient tomb. The modular booth is mainly used in some product exhibitions. It is mainly used for temporary exhibitions, so it can be used multiple times. Multiple use can save the company a certain amount of money. In the early days, the booth was built using wood materials, which were not recyclable and also a kind of damage to the environment. Because of its use, it requires a lot of wood for production, resulting in a lot of waste.
