Merseyside memories
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.
Days Gone By
My family arrived in Seaforth late in 1939 after we were shipped back from Gibraltar where my father was stationed with the Kings Regiment. Early memories of our house in Holly Grove are vague. My sister Maureen and I, along with hundreds of other kids, were evacuateed to Radnorshire in Wales. There were still air raids when we returned to Seaforth and I remember spending many a night in the communal air raid shelter in the street or down in the coal cellar of our house. An area of Elm Road and Gladstone Road were destroyed as was Church Road next to the RC church. Ewart Road and many other streets were badly damaged. Boys being boys we had plenty of places to play in even though we were always being told to stay out of the bombed sites. I attended the old Star of the Sea RC school, and remember with affection the head master Mr Williams. The Americans arrived during the war and were stationed at Seaforth Barracks.... Read more

William Jones - Gladstone Road Seaforth
Hi, I am researching some family history and would be interested to hear from anyone who knows of a William Jones of 50 Gladstone Road, Seaforth. Any information greatly appreciated. Kind regards Patricia My email address is Directext@aol.com
Grandparents
My nanny & granddad lived in Orrell Park, Westfield Road. I remember very well growing up because I lived in Aintree at that time, visiting them with mum & dad. We would get the number 60 bus up to the corner of their road. On an occasional Saturday evening I would stay with nan & grandad while mum & dad would go to the Carlton Cinerma to watch a film. Many a happy time was spent in Orrell Park. The good old days!
The Way it Was
I remember as a little girl running to the Sweet and Tobacconist shop on the corner of Westfield Road, where we lived, for 5 Woodbines for my mum. The shop was owned by Tom Lewis. Obviously it wasn't a problem selling cigarettes to little girls then. As rationing was still on I would also be sent next door to Wormwells, the grocers for 2oz of sugar, which was sold in a cornet of blue paper, which my mum called a "screw of sugar".
On the block between Westfield and Mossfield Roads there were 9 shops: Dry Cleaners; Simmonds' Tobacconist/Newsagent; Mayfair Hairdressers; George Dangerfield Butchers; Greengrocers; I have a blank in my memory for the next shop, then a Bike Shop (where my "Pink Witch" bike was bought); Wormwell's Grocers; and Tom Lewis' Sweet and Tobacconist. Can anyone remember what that other shop sold?
