Friary ParkQueen Elizabeth Gates, entrance to The Friary/Friern House, now Friary Pk. Photo by Fred Shaw, a local photographer, pre 1910. These gates incorporated the royal monogram of the first Elizabeth. It looks like they are about to be demolished, judging by the state of them, perhaps to be replaced for the park opening in 1910 (By permission of Special Collections & Archives Dept., University of Liverpool).
