April 1st 2010 - Everton Lock Up

After heavy snowfalls in parts of Liverpool overnight I was passing the 'Everton Lock Up' when a really unusual blue hazy light fell over it. Built in 1787 it is the oldest surviving building in Everton. It stood in the west end of Everton village which lay on the brow of the hill. It was used to lock up the drunks and trouble makers overnight. When the successful local chapel football team took the name 'Everton' the well-known landmark was adopted as the Everton Football Club insignia.
