Keen eyed passengers waiting for a train at a north Liverpool station may well have had their eye caught by Liverpool's most famous spelling mistake.
As most people know, 'Orrell Park' is spelled with two 'L's' and correctly appears as such on the train station's sign.
However, a look from one of the platforms across to Orrell Park Hall (ballroom) will see a different spelling on the brick sign on the side of the building.

The sign on building has 'Orrell' spelled with just one 'L' - as in 'Orrel'.
Why the brickwork sign on one of the area's most recognisable landmarks has been incorrectly spelled has baffled many since the building was built nearly 100 years ago.
In 1927, a new billiard hall - which later became a ballroom - was opened above a row of new shops opposite Orrell Park Station.
Like most venues at the time they only sold non-alcoholic drinks and so its patrons would often visit a local pub before spending the night at the dance hall listening to live music.

Rory Storm and the Hurricanes were the headlining group at the first 'Beat Night', in the Orrell Park Ballroom in March 1961, or the OPB as it is still known.
Over the years, many other famous acts have performed there including Ringo Starr and Jerry Lee Lewis.
These days, the OPB continues to serve as a place for live music and functions, christenings and birthday parties.
But now it also has a bar so its customers can enjoy a drink as they're being entertained.
As for why the sign on the building is incorrectly spelled, the reason is down to a workman not thinking things through.
When the hall was being built in 1927, the bricklayer when putting the name 'Orrell Park Hall' above the shops made a crucial mistake.
He used three frames of bricks to encompass the name, one per word.
When the bricks were laid, he was left with space for only one letter 'L' in Orrell. And to this day, that's how the sign remains.
