Crosby Rosedale Aveune
A Memory of Crosby.
I was born in my grandparents' home in Rosedale Avenue in July 1947. I remember Crosby well, the cinema at the top of Endbutt Lane, going to church at St Peter and St Paul's RC Church, seeing the Beatles, and here I am in 2010 just back from a visit to my home village!
So much has changed, some not for the good, Crown Buildings was knocked down last year, Sainsburys wants to expand and take over most of the village shutting all the little shops, there is another swimming pool on the beach at Mariners Road, (still looks like a space ship) there is also a sewerage plant, although disguised it still looks like an eyesore and as for the Anthony Gormly statues, don't get me started, a danger to all and rust buckets to boot!
But I still love Crosby and will always go back to tend the family graves and to see relatives.
