About Bootle - show infohide info
Bootle town is located in Sefton Merseyside in the north west of England. It forms part of the Liverpool urban area Originally, Bootle was a small sized seaside resort, and was home to the wealthy merchants of Liverpool. When the docks were extended northwards into Bootle, the town undertook rapid growth, and was dominated by the docks and ancillary industries. In the 19th century it became a county borough. The successful and productive docks unfortunately made Bootle a target for German bombers in World War II. Bootle has the unhappy title of being the most bombed town in England, with around 90% of houses in the town suffering damage. During the 60s and 70s the Bootle docks began to decline in importance and usage, and as a result the area’s population declined and unemployment was rife. To provide employment, large office blocks housing government departments and the National Girobank were established in Bootle, yet is was mainly the middle class that were employees. Bootle still retains the old civic centre of the town, boasting impressive Victorian buildings including the Town Hall and Municipal Baths. To the east is mainly large office block development, and west is where the Leeds and Liverpool lays. The main body of Bootle town is residential, with many homes from the 1930s, and Victorian terraces that were homes for the dock workers.
