Memories of The Village c1955, Barnston
Happy Days
The building on the right with the telephone box outside was the post office and store run by a lady called Mrs Locker. I used to deliver the Liverpool Echo to the Fox and hounds and most of the houses in the village. I still try and visit the Fox and Hounds at least once a year and it's nice to see that the village hasn't changed at all in the intervening years except for the amount of traffic.
Barnston & local memories
Read and share memories of Barnston and Merseyside inspired by Frith photos.
Darts And A Pint
The Fox and Hounds was a great place to meet friends and have a game of darts and a pint or two. I can remember a warm fire on a winters night and a friendly publican. The place had a typical English country pub feel and my mates and I were always made welcome. I worked on the place as a painter in the 60`s, and was always given a free pint with lunch. Pete
Searching For Relations Dulcie (Waring) Married Gerald Lewis
I am serching for my relations, Dulice Waring, married Gerald Lewis, I know they had a son called Gerald, I think he was an only child. Before Dulcie and Gerald moved to this area they lived in Eastham, Merseyside. I believe the son is still alive, but have no idea of the address they lived at at Thornton Hough, or where the son Gerald lived. I was once told he lived in Angelsey. I would love to make contact with the son as Dulcie and Gerald are now deceased. If anyone can remember them or anything about them I would be grateful to hear from you. I would love some old pictures, if you can help please get in touch, Val.
Barnston Dale School
I attended here circa 1969/70 for one year. I hated every minute. I lived about 3 miles away and we had to get a bus there every morning.

Tree Cottage
This building is still known as Tree Cottage, Old Lane, but the postal address has been changed to Barnston Road which causes a lot of confusion. I have lived here since 2002 and traced the previous owners back to 1851, but apparently the cottage is much older.
