Birkenhead

I remember Hursts Bakery very well. I lived in Rhyl Street from 1941 to 1962. I now live near Bedford. I remember the Angel Inn . I walked up Beckwith St to primary school Trinity St. St Lawrences church was very near and McGuinesses paper and sweet shop. My brother went to Hamilton Secondary. Peggy King nee Butterworth

Hi i just read your interesting comments. I too went to Hamilton Set school and left about 1960. One of my best mates lived next door to the Angel (32 Camden Street). His name was Brian Hulmstone and he had an elder brother Ronny.

Brian and I had another mate who also went to Hemmy, named Vic Dowler.
Vic emigrated to Australia too.
I was in the army at the time so I lost touch with them..
