More about this scene

Knowsley is the home of the Stanley family, and is one of the most imposing of the large houses around Liverpool. It is also unique in that it is still today the home of Lord Derby (the title of the Stanley family). Here we have a good view of the large house which has welcomed so many kings, queens and princes over the years. Some came to stay as they journeyed around the country, but many more came as friends, to relax, or to take in a few days shooting. The older part of the hall is on the right, and though much of the estate is now given over to the Safari Park, the Hall still retains much of its family touch.
