Bootle: Liverpool's Dock Neighbour, the Strand, and Sefton's Southern Borough
Bootle grew as an extension of Liverpool's dock system. The town's waterfront was lined with warehouses and dock infrastructure serving the Mersey trade. Heavy bombing during the Blitz in 1941 destroyed large sections of the town centre. Post-war redevelopment replaced much of the Victorian streetscape. The Strand shopping centre and the large HMRC office complex (one of the biggest in the country) dominate the town centre. The population is around 30,000. Bootle is part of the Metropolitan Borough of Sefton.
Bootle New Strand and Bootle Oriel Road stations provide Merseyrail Northern Line services to Liverpool city centre (ten minutes). The A5036 connects the docks to the M57 and M58 motorways. The port area north of Bootle handles container and freight traffic. For adult companionship, Bootle is covered by Merseyside Police and falls under England and Wales criminal law.
