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.
