About Bootle
Bootle (pronounced /ˈbuːtəl/) is a town in the Metropolitan Borough of Sefton, Merseyside, England, which had a population of 51,394 in 2011. Historically part of Lancashire, Bootle’s proximity to the Irish Sea and the industrial city of Liverpool to the south saw it grow rapidly in the 1800s. The town was heavily damaged in World War II with air raids against the port and other industrial targets. Post-war economic success in the 1950s and 1960s gave way to a downturn.
