Barnston Dale School
I attended here circa 1969/70 for one year. I hated every minute. I lived about 3 miles away and we had to get a bus there every morning.

Happy days
The building on the right with the telephone box outside was the post office and store run by a lady called Mrs Locker. I used to deliver the Liverpool Echo to the Fox and hounds and most of the houses in the village. I still try and visit the Fox and Hounds at least once a year and it's nice to see that the village hasn't changed at all in the intervening years except for the amount of traffic.

Darts and a Pint
The Fox and Hounds was a great place to meet friends and have a game of darts and a pint or two. I can remember a warm fire on a winters night and a friendly publican. The place had a typical English country pub feel and my mates and I were always made welcome. I worked on the place as a painter in the 60`s, and was always given a free pint with lunch.

Tree Cottage
This building is still known as Tree Cottage, Old Lane, but the postal address has been changed to Barnston Road which causes a lot of confusion. I have lived here since 2002 and traced the previous owners back to 1851, but apparently the cottage is much older.

Extracts From Bebington & Merseyside books
It has been said of Bebington that
‘though the town centre is lacking in
character, it is also open, green and
wholesome’, and that description
still works well now. Most visitors to
the town today are on their way to a
place close by that has a great deal of
character – the purpose-built town of
Port Sunlight with its ‘sylvan suburbs’
around the nearby soap factory.
An extract from from"Cheshire Living Memories".
There are two Bebingtons – Higher
and Lower. These photographs were
taken in Lower Bebington. Founded in
Saxon times, the church we see now
largely dates from around the 14th
century; a local legend says that when
ivy grows to the top of the spire the
end of the world will be nigh. People
here are careful to ensure that no ivy
grows on the church.
