Crosby - Rosedale Aveune
I was born in my grandparents' home in Rosedale Avenue in July 1947. I remember Crosby well, the cinema at the top of Endbutt Lane, going to church at St Peter and St Paul's RC Church, seeing the Beatles, and here I am in 2010 just back from a visit to my home village! So much has changed, some not for the good, Crown Buildings was knocked down last year, Sainsburys wants to expand and take over most of the village shutting all the little shops, there is another swimming pool on the beach at Mariners Road, (still looks like a space ship) there is also a sewerage plant, although disguised it still looks like an eyesore and as for the Anthony Gormly statues, don't get me started, a danger to all and rust buckets to boot! But I still love Crosby and will always go back to tend the family graves and to see relatives.

RE: RE: Crosby - Rosedale Aveune
You're so right, lots of things have changed, but Crosby's community is still a well-knit community and now that we have a better Crosby who thankfully through a lot of campaigning have stopped Sainsbury's from obliterating Moor Lane. Lots of more meetings on the cards with Sainsbury's, but hopefully ABC and Sainsbury's can work together for the better. I totally agree about the Ironmen. A total waste of money and now they are even more slimy and rusty. You might like to view my website on Crosby. I think you'll find it interesting. Lots of old photos and present one hence the name Crosby Past and Present.. www.wix.com/localhistory/crosbypastandpresent. I have a memories section as well as an archive.
