Wallasey Village

A Memory of Wallasey.

My dad owned the cycle shop in Wallasey Village, firstly at the Leasowe Road end then latterly Harrison Drive end, the name was Longworths. From 1961 we lived in St.Georges Road (when Piggy Lane was still in existence) I attended St. Georges Road School from circa 1948 and remember 'big' Miss Little and 'little' Miss Little, Mr Grey, Miss Merrick and Mr Sykes (headmaster). Miss Marsh was headteacher of the infants school. Does anyone else have any of these memories?

I remember Longworths shop in the 1960's. He had a coin slot to run a model railway in the shop window for so many minutes at a time. Bought all our bikes there, I remember having a paper round at Rushtons newsagents and delivering papers in St Georges Road.
I seem to recall Mr Longworth as a dapper man, carrying a briefcase to work and wearing a trilby. Having a bicycle then was a passport to exploring the Wirral and Wallasey. Still cycle now, but it seemed more mainstream then, even some of the teachers cycled to school.
