Picture postcards and photos
Just wondering if there are any photo's with regards to a sweet shop on Bridge Road Blundellsands called "Confectioners" and photographs of Merrilocks Road.I also remember a great design house on Burbo Bank Road called "Ramleigh Park".
This was a fantastic build in its time with stables and clock tower. I have searched over the years for an early photo of Ramleigh. Can anyone help with photos?

Old shops in Great Crosby
Who remembers a shop in Great Crosby with the names Mary Anne Minnie and Charlotte Louise over the door?

Why did you let them do that?
I left Crosby 37 years ago. On returning there a few years ago, I found an ancient cottage - by the name of Pinfold or Penfold Cottage - had vanished only to be replaced by shops. Surely this thatched cottage was a listed building?
Does anybody have photos or memories of this happening?

I remember the bluebells!
Fifty years ago, I was 8 years old and lived in Crosby. Every morning I walked to school (Forefield Lane) along the Northern Road. I used to walk over the roundabout (there wasn't much traffic) and head towards the area where you now see the flats on the right hand side of the photo. I remember when all that area was wooded and in the spring, there was a profusion of gorgeous bluebells which drew me too them. I would stop to pick up a few to take to teacher in school.
