I used to work in a greengrocer's shop on Rosemount in Oxton. The shop was owned by Mr Samuel Wharton. He had a sister (I can't remember her name) and her husband owned the butcher's shop which was also in Oxton, although I can't remember which road it was on. It may have been Christchurch. When I first started working there,... [more]

My friend and I would go on numerous bike rides around Formby, Southport and Crossby. We came from Bootle and as we were only 12 years old these bike rides seemed to be a trip into another world. I moved to Australia later in life, the memories seem even more beautifull and bright than they may have been if I did... [more]

Extracts From Oxton & Merseyside books
Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Oxton, inspired by Frith photos.
The old village custom of placing the pub next to the church is not overlooked in Oxton. St Saviour's also supports a church-aided primary school, and both are a power in the community.

The baronies of Halton and Widnes were combined in about 1200, and were later taken under the Duchy of Lancaster, where they remain today. The castle is owned... [more]
