Woolton Hill Road Woolton Hill Road was described in The Enclosure Act of 1805 as Red Brow, "40 ft wide, where hitherto the cows and sheep of Gateacre had drifted to their common pastures".  Woolton Hill would have been common land of rough scrubland and red sandstone outcrops prior to becoming a favoured location for wealthy merchants to build grand country mansions. The house to the right is simply named "The Cottage" on early maps and is linked to the grand house Baycliff built in 1869-71 (now the residence of Liverpool's Anglican bishops known as Bishop's Lodge).

Woolton Hall Grade I Listed Building built in 1704 and extensively renovated by Robert Adam in 1772 and considered among his finest work in the northwest of England. 
The building was used as an Auxiliary Hospital during the Great War.
Between the wars the hall was used by the Middlesex Regiment. The Sisters of Notre Dame ran a catholic school in the hall from 1950 moving out to a new building in the 1970s. The building was allowed to fall into disrepair and was saved from demolition by John Hibbert. Faded signs on the gates show the building was used for weddings, banquets and conferences. There were plans in 2016 for conversion to retirement apartments but there were no signs of action in February 2018.
