Memories of Liverpool, Booker Avenue from Holmefield Road
I can clearly remember pushing my doll's pram up to the shops with my Mother from our home in South Mossley Hill Road. I was always fascinated by the overhead cash delivery system in the Co-op shops.
The very end shop was the Co-op selling haberdashery and shoes, I think that was where my love for shoes was born!
A cake shop called Wallers was next door, another favourite place of mine!
The Co-op food shop was very exciting as we did not frequent this very often with my Father being a shopkeeper himself - buying groceries from there was strictly forbidden. Happy Days!!!!

Liverpool, the 'Empress of England' leaving Liverpool c1958
Ref: l60034
I watched this ship as a child at the pier head, many years later I sailed on her on a cruise around the med about 2000/2001. She had been renamed the 'Topaz', it was either the 'Empress Of England' or her sister ship the 'Empress of Scotland'. She was sold on about 5 or 6 years ago and if my information is correct she is to this day operating as an eductional ship somewhere in Japan. A great personal and historic memory.

Liverpool, St. Georges Hall c1881
Ref: 7813
Around 1949 to1951 ish. I too remember attending a big party for underprivileged children at St Georges Hall. We had to line up to collect a gift on the stage. We could choose from a selection. I always wanted a doll but was so shy I just grabbed the first box I saw, I think it may have been a game, but not the doll I longed for. It was a happy memory.

Liverpool, St. Georges Hall c1881
Ref: 7813
I was brought up in no 3 Loudon Grove. However, on a recent visit I noticed that Nos 1, 3, 5, and 7 along with others have been demolished and only No 7 on that side of the road has been replaced with a new house. The location of 1, 3 and 5 is just grassed over. Does anybody know the reason for this? I remember Ronny Wrichley (Billy Fury) asking my brother to ask me for a date, but I was too shy to accept. I would have been only 14. I was known as Nancy Ward.

Liverpool, Bold Street 1887
Ref: 20010
My first job after leaving Our Lady of Mount Carmel school was in the accounts office of the well known Blacklers Department Store. The office only was located in Bold Street during 1953. The office staff relocated to the main store during 1953/54. I worked with a friend called Margaret Langshaw. We both left to work at Littlewoods Pools in Edge Lane. If anyone knows the whereabouts of Margaret I would love to hear from them.
