Walton Hospital
The year I was born at Walton Hospital. The war was still on and as I was growing up I remember my mum saying to me just after I was born there was a bomb drop on the Maternity Unit at the hospital and all the new mothers & babies had to be transferred to Southport.
School of Nursing Walton Hospital
Started my training there June 1977, remember the great training and lovely tutors and great colleagues. I lived in Vale House and then Hill House, all uniform being washed and ironed for us. Went between Walton & Fazakerly for training. Happy times, loved the wards at both hospitals and the huge A&E department. Met my husband Joe there, he'd just qualified worked nights at Walton & lived at Faz. I first saw him getting the bus back in the mornings. Joe moved to Redhill and I followed transferring my training to Redhill, but Walton was much better. Remember Mr Ward on G ward, and Sr. Skipsy on Ward 8, especially.
Liverpool always my home.
Vauxall Road, Our Playground
I was born in Walton Hospital and lived in Vauxall. My dad came from Vauxall, my mother from Lattermer Street. My mother's name was Molden, she was from a very big family but try as I might I cannot find any trace of the Moldens in Liverpool. Any informatiom would be most welcome. We moved to Huyton when I was a baby. When we went back to visit our gran and aunties we used to play on the dock road pinching peanuts and togy from the sacks on the back of the horse-drawn carts. We used to go to a cinema called the Jem, or flea pit. There is all new property around Scottie Road now but I know the people won't change. If they take to you, you're a friend for life. If not, don't hang around, get out quick. The Scouse sense of humour is next to none. Scottie Press is known all over the world and to me it's the best place in the world.
My Bootle 1971 - 76
I was born and brought up on Monfa Road, number 27 next to the junction of Aughton Road. Great memories of Bootle at that time. Mrs Gallagher's shop at the bottom of Aughton next to Orrell Primary School was a treat, lovely little woman she was. Mrs Roberts and Mrs Meeson, the two infants class teachers. Cousins the bakers, where my grandad used to get my cottage pies from for my lunch, from school.Bradys the newsagent, where you bought grandads woodys from. St John and St James Church, the little dairy shop and launderette(the baggy) a little further on past Willard Street. Remember John the Modelcraft at the top on Harris Drive? That was the treasuretrove of all toy shops, any kind of model tank areoplane or boxes of soldiers could be bought. It was a special place the Klondyke area, looking at it now and all you see is demolition, never to be the same again. RIP the Bootle I knew and loved.
Bootle
I moved from Liverpool twenty six years ago. I lived in Aughton Road, number seven, and went to Orrell Primary School. I remember all the shops at the end of Aughton Rd; Bradys sweet shop, Cousins, Gallaghers sweet shop, fruit and veg shop which was once owned by my Uncle Brian. I can also remember the men's barbers shop that was there - very fond memories for me as a kid.
