Shared Memories of Southport

Year: 1960
Boyhood days
My dad Leslie had the Talbot Hotel in Portland St from 1955 to 1964, and I went to Sefton St School and then to Bickerton House School in York Rd. I can remember going to Miss Walshe's riding school in Aughton Road where the famous Ginger Mcain of Red Rum used to drive her taxis. The summers always burnt the grass off and there was always snow in winter. As a keen bird watcher my pal Zbignew, a Polish boy would go to the Marine Lake or Hesketh Park to see what we could find, what a time of boyhood, oh how I would love to do it all over again ...

Trips to Southport over the years.
My father's aunt lived in Southport and worked as a radiologist at the Southport Infirmary in those days. We would visit practically every weekend. As I grew up and married and had my own children we always loved visiting Southport. My two daughters had such a lot of fun at Pleasureland. One of my daughters won the Southport Rosebud contest one year which in those days was held in The Floral Pavillion. I enjoyed Lord Street and we often stopped and listened to the band at the Band Stand on Lord Street. Many happy memories of Southport! Last edited: 14/04/2008 12:27 by Brenda Vanderwert |

Wragg's photographic studio?
Hi - I have a couple of photos of my great-grandmother taken by Wragg, a photographer in Wigan and Leyton Arcade, Southport. I'd like to hear from anyone who can help me date the pictures by comparing the frames. The pictures: http://www.flickr.com/photos/nicdafis/468472134 http://www.flickr.com/photos/nicdafis/468483717 Many thanks. Posted: 22/04/2007 16:54 by Nic Dafis |
