Merseyside memories
The Good Old Days
I remember when I was about ten or eleven, we used to camp out in the back field behind the flats in Rockford Avenue, four or five of us in a two-man tent. After a rough nights sleep we would get up early in the morning and send one of my younger cousins and his mates to pinch some milk, eggs, and bread from the doorsteps after the milkman and the bread man had delivered them. Then we would cook a big breakfast over the campfire. I remember one time we were camping out, it was about two o'clock in the morning and we were all playing cards and being very loud. Next thing we knew was these two lights coming towards us, one minute there were two lights the next minute there was only one. One of the coppers who was coming towards the tent had tripped over the guide rope, which is used for holding the tent up. He ended up down a big hole in the middle... Read more
Memories of Kirkby
I remember my time in Quarry Green, and the white council 2 storey flats next to what we knew as "Spinney woods", and the bus turnaround, the pub called "The Black Swan", and then there was the primary school opposite Quarry Green, and I recall the "Z cars" programme was also based on a character at the fire station, Bob Steel. Also the water tower near Roughwood High School. And my first kiss with Janette McNicholl, by the railway line near Melling Drive.
Paper Run
My brother and I used to have a paper run in Roughwood, soon found out why it was called a paper run! On money collection night when people payed for their week's papers we used to have run not to get robbed. It was a very bad place. I'm glad I now live in Australia. Mazza.
Pidgeon House
Does anyone remember them?
1965
I remember when I was leaving Kirkby for Australia it was very cold, it was like escaping from the artic. I remember Vicki Pierpoint from Spinny Woods, hi Vicky if you're still there. Mazza
New Hall Baths
I remember before leaving Fazakerley Comprehensive School I was learning to swim and the teachers took us to New Hall baths, I remember one day I had my swimming lesson and had to return to school in a wet swimming costume as someone had decided to look in my bag and nick my undergarment. I was easily embarrassed them and sat with a red face for the rest of the school day. I loved going the swimming baths and now it's closed down I miss it as I uld escape to the warmth of the pool away from everyday life. I even went once and found a cockroach swimming towards me.
Lazy Summers
I remember the summer club run by mothers at Formosa Drive School. We used to meet up on the school field with lunch and spend the afternoon chatting with friends and playing rounders. I remember being in Miss Jackson's class sucking polos we use to pass around and drinking warm milk.
