The Village Gave Me A Great Wife Now Of 60 Years.

A Memory of Wallasey.

Early 50's. My wife is Audrey a member of the Upton family who lived at 101 Wallasey Village over Sayers cake shop. Her sister, Doreen, worked across the road in Strongs Dairy. Happy memories of playing cricket with her brothers Bernard and John and Norman in the back 'jigger' which led into Lycett Rd and the sweet shop near the bottom of St John's Rd (Sunday nights on front of the telly).
Ted Upton worked the market gardens in Leasowe Rd and I enjoyed many a pint in the Twenty Row, Farmers and Cheshire Cheese. I recall too, during the War the rockets being fired from the gun emplacements at the park at the end of Wallasey Rd.
Hauling a trek cart with the Scout troop through the village and down Leasowe Rd thence via Moreton to the Overchurch camp site. Sat soccer on the Leasowe Rd playing fields over seen by a Mr. Collins (if not too deep in water!)
Fond memories of Wallasey even after 43 years in Australia. Mind you, would not now swap for even a big dish of scouse.
