The Review of Lancashire Rifle Volunteers in Knowsley Park - Huyton Lodge Volunteers... 1860. Creator: Unknown
The Review of Lancashire Rifle Volunteers in Knowsley Park - Huyton Lodge Volunteers entering the park, 1860. It was still very early in the day when crowds of visitors from Liverpool, and Manchester, and Bolton, and hundreds of places beside, found themselves passing into the park by the Liverpool, Huyton, Ormskirk, and Croxteth gateways, from the summit of each of which floated a large flag bearing the inscription, "Welcome, Volunteers!" and having streaming by its side another emblazoned with the arms of the house of Stanley, with the appropriate Conservative motto, "Sans changer." By twelve o'clock some 6000 or 7000 persons were, after a walk of two or three miles across a fine breezy country, assembled on the review-ground, which, with its white lines of posts and fences, looked picturesque in the extreme'. From "Illustrated London News", 1860

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1860, depicts The Review of Lancashire Rifle Volunteers in Knowsley Park, specifically the Huyton Lodge Volunteers, making their entrance into the park. The scene is set early in the day, with throngs of visitors from Liverpool, Manchester, Bolton, and numerous other towns and villages, converging on the park through the Liverpool, Huyton, Ormskirk, and Croxteth gateways. Each gateway proudly displayed a large flag bearing the inscription, "Welcome, Volunteers!" and another emblazoned with the arms of the House of Stanley and the Conservative motto, "Sans changer." By noon, an estimated 6000 to 7000 people had gathered on the review-ground, their journey through the picturesque countryside completed. The white lines of posts and fences against the green landscape create a striking contrast, adding to the overall beauty and charm of the scene. The Lancashire Rifle Volunteers, dressed in their uniforms and carrying their rifles, were about to undergo a review, a significant event in their military training and a source of pride for the local community. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a snapshot of military life and the social fabric of the time.
