It had a large, imposing building with a clock tower, and its facilities included state-of-the-art operating theatres and wards.

Another historical place of interest in the area was the impressive St John the Baptist Church, which had been built in the mid-19th century and was a fine example of Victorian Gothic architecture. The church had a tall spire and stained glass windows, and its interior featured ornate carvings and decorations.

In addition to these landmarks, Newsham Park was also home to a number of historic buildings and businesses, many of which had been in operation for generations. These included the Newsham Brewery, which had been established in the early 19th century and was one of the largest and most successful breweries in the region.

Overall, Newsham Park was a fascinating area of Liverpool with a rich history and a number of interesting landmarks and places of interest to discover.
