Reach for the Sunshine One and All.
My name, way back in 1957, was Iris Finley. My overriding memory of Delamere was the feeling of being in a very old fashioned environment. I always felt that the way we were taught and the strict regime was from an era much before I was born. That is not to say that I didn't like the atmosphere, I just found... [more]

My name back in 1954 was Doreen Lipman
I don't know what made me google Delamerites but was amazed to find this website. It seems I'm the only one with bitter memories. I hated every single minute of every single day and night and was one of those naughty children who kept running away. We once made it to a gypsy caravan in a nearby field and even more... [more]

Extracts From Burton & Cheshire books

The Wirral Photographic Memories
As with picture No B561032 (below), this is looking east along the village.

It is difficult to believe that this sleepy little village was once a bustling seaport – there were five alehouses along this street some 400 years ago! But there is no pub here now. Today Burton is a conservation area; in fact, the village has to be one of the most attractive in the county.

The Wirral Photographic Memories
The parish church of St Nicholas, like many of Wirral's fine buildings, is constructed from local red sandstone. The church dates mainly from 1721, but some features remind us that there were three or possibly more churches here before this one. The first stone church was erected soon after 1086 to cater for the spiritual needs of the families of the... [more]
