A bridge that sees dozens of school children cross every day has been renamed in honour of a former lollipop man.
Arthur Snellgrove was a dedicated and beloved lollipop man who, for 23 years every morning and afternoon, greeted children from St Benedict's Primary in Netherton on the canal swing bridge on St Oswald's Lane. The 87-year-old died "peacefully" on Saturday, January 8.
The dad of five has now had the same bridge he manned for more than 20 years renamed in a touching tribute to the tireless work he did for Sefton Council. Arthur's daughters Julie and Trisha were joined by dozens of friends, neighbours, schoolchildren and officers from both Sefton Council and the Canal & River Trust for the unveiling of two plaques, which will now adorn the swing bridge.
