First Impressions Of Capenhurst Village

A Memory of Capenhurst.

I was married in 1982 and moved into Park Farm (next to the church).
There was a school, a church, village hall, a bowling green, two social clubs BNFL & EAT, a railway station and the Women's Institute.
The first major event I attended was the 125 year anniversary of Holy Trinity Church 1984, which was held on the land opposite the factory houses. The church had the usual stalls, made by Mr Stanley Pemberton, Mr White devised a church quiz, the silver band from Ellesmere Port entertained the residents and we dressed up in Victorian costumes. The church was decorated with flowers to denote the anniversary.The day ended with a free Bar-B-Cue on the Green and community singing.
