More about this scene

Taken from the corner of Arrowe Park Road, this photograph is looking east along The Village. Traffic lights now stand on this corner, which is much busier today than in the relatively quiet days of motoring. The large stone building on the left is still there, but it is now a hair and beauty salon, not a tea shop.

I moved to the village in 1951 after my father died; mum and I had a prefab in Molyneoux Road. They are no longer there but these days were the happiest time for growing up. The church was the centre of village life in many ways with a regular dance on Friday night at youth group. There was a great little record shop and the best ice-cream ever from the dairy. I was great friends with the ...see more
I was born in that White Cottage that once stood at the top of Moreton Road and have many happy memories of it and old Upton Village. In the days before the Catholic Church was built, Gemmels Wood used to stretch from Moreton Road to the start of Miss Gemmels Garden and her house which fronted Church Road. The laneway at the back of the Stonehouse Cafe was called Quinesway and they operated a hardware shop which ...see more
