Merseyside memories
Fifty years ago, I was 8 years old and lived in Crosby. Every morning I walked to school (Forefield Lane) along the Northern Road. I used to walk over the roundabout (there wasn't much traffic) and head towards the area where you now see the flats on the right hand side of the photo. I remember when all that... [more]

This was a fantastic build in its time with stables and clock tower. I have searched over the years for an early photo of... [more]

I left Crosby 37 years ago. On returning there a few years ago, I found an ancient cottage - by the name of Pinfold or Penfold Cottage - had vanished only to be replaced by shops. Surely this thatched cottage was a listed building?
Does anybody have photos or memories of this happening?

Waterloo in the 1940s to 1950s
My early memories are of Waterloo where I used to live at Winchester Avenue until 1958. My father died there in 1989. On College Road there were air raid shelters which me and other kids played in after the war until they were demolished, probably late 1940s. One of the concrete pillars collapsed on me and trapped me against a wall... [more]

I recall as a child in the 1950s, being taken on outings from my grandparents' home in Litherland via Seaforth/ South Road stations to the beach at Marine Crescent, Waterloo.
On a recent nostalgic trip there I was surprised that I couldn't, as I expected, actually see the river and beyond from Marine Crescent and needed to walk across the dunes... [more]

Lived at 4 Walmer Road, Waterloo and 21 Cambridge Road Waterloo in the 1950's. Both houses were divided into flats. I have fond memories of the Beach, Potters Bar Park, the Five Lamps, South Road and St John's Road. Would anyone have information on the history of the two houses mentioned please, or photographs, or owners and or tenants. I now... [more]

It was planned that around St George's Hall there would be unbuilt areas so as to show off the Hall, the grandest of the civic buildings. At the back is St John's Gardens, and in front is the open area of St George's Plateau. At the time of our photograph, it contained the equestrian statues of Prince Albert (1866) and Queen... [more]
