In 1928, Fazakerley and Walton were two suburbs of Liverpool that were experiencing significant growth and development. One of the most notable historical landmarks in the area was the Holy Name Catholic Church, which had been built in the late 19th century and was considered to be one of the most impressive churches in the city. Its architecture was a mix of Gothic and Romanesque styles, and it featured intricate carvings and stained glass windows.

Another historical place of interest in the area was the Walton Hall, which was originally built in the early 19th century as a country house for a local merchant. It had since been converted into a public park, and its grounds were a popular destination for locals and tourists alike. The park featured a large lake, gardens, and woodland areas, as well as a variety of recreational facilities such as tennis courts and a golf course.

The Fazakerley railway station was also an important landmark in the area, providing a convenient link to Liverpool city centre and other parts of the region. The station had been opened in the mid-19th century and had since undergone several upgrades and renovations to accommodate the increasing number of passengers.

Overall, Fazakerley and Walton were two suburbs of Liverpool that were rich in history and culture. From the impressive Holy Name Catholic Church to the tranquil surroundings of Walton Hall, there were plenty of historical landmarks and places of interest to explore in the area.
