		The former McCartney home, at Forthlin Road must be reached by minibus from Speke Hall, another National Trust property which is quite a contrast with the terraced house in which young Paul lived.
		Speke Hall was built in 1490 and is one of the finest, fl and white, half timbered buildings in Britain.
		There is some juxtaposition between Speke Hall, built 1490, and the old Liverpool Airport, purpose built in the 1930's and the new Liverpool Airport built recently.

	The Merseyside Pub Guide - SPEKE
		British airport bars are all the same, aren't they.
		This enormous free-standing late 30s (?) building included a big plain somewhat faded and rather grubby public bar, a very pleasant "snug lounge" and a very large lounge, complete with dance floor, occupied by a private party when I was there.
		From the outside this is a slightly down at heel pub on the edge of the Speke housing estate.

		We believe that the costs of unbridled airport expansion would be very high indeed both in terms of climate change and in terms of damage to valuable environmental assets through land take.
		Expansion of Gatwick airport by building another runway would also have potentially very serious impact on the ecology of the area as no matter where the runway was sited it would almost certainly destroy significant areas of ancient semi-natural woodland.
		If the airport were to expand eastwards, we would be concerned for the fate of Mill Wood (8.7ha; Grid Ref: SJ457836) and Old Plantation (7.6ha; Grid Ref: SJ459823), which are both areas of ancient semi-natural woodland and should be given absolute protection.

	Mike Royden's Local History Pages - Liverpool Airport
		So when I was asked by Norman Thomas to feature the Airport I was pleased to return to those sentimental days, but still felt despondent both for not making it as a pilot, but also at the old airport site no longer being used as the main airport.
		On the way home I stopped at the old airport as I had my 10 year old son with me and I drove around the back of the Marriott Hotel on the old apron, before giving him a rambling reminiscence on ‘when I was your age...’.
		At the time a number of municipalities were proceeding with their “airports” and civil aerodromes and Liverpool then an important sea-going port needed one themselves.
