In 1928, Walton on the Hill was a bustling suburb of Liverpool with a rich history and numerous places of interest for visitors to explore. One of the most notable landmarks in the area was the impressive St Mary's Church, which had been built in the early 19th century and was a fine example of Gothic Revival architecture. The church had a tall tower and spire, and its interior featured intricate carvings, stained glass windows, and ornate furnishings.

Another historical place of interest in Walton on the Hill was the Walton Park, which had originally been opened in the mid-19th century as a private estate for a wealthy merchant. It had since been converted into a public park, and its extensive grounds included a lake, gardens, and woodland areas, as well as a number of recreational facilities such as tennis courts and a golf course.

The area was also home to the historic Walton Gaol, which had been in operation since the late 18th century and was one of the oldest prisons in the country. While the gaol was no longer in use by 1928, its imposing brick walls and gatehouse were still standing and served as a reminder of the area's past.

In addition to these landmarks, Walton on the Hill was also home to a number of historic pubs and shops, many of which had been in business for generations.
