A Selection of Memories from Hoylake

For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our website to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was, prompted by the photographs in our archive. Here are some from Hoylake

Sparked a Memory for you?

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

The garage on the right hand side of photo had a Spitfire on its forecourt it was quite surreal think the man who owned it was called Bunny (?)
Loved this hotel and knew the then managers daughter Janet Humphries ( went to Minto House) in 70's fabulous memories of very happy times spent there - then when Flat Foot Sams opened it was the place to be be seen - handy as lived just down the road so sad to see the horrendous flats now in its place
After a bus ride to Hoylake with my teenage friends (Mark Faulkner, Peter Wilson, Jayne Hanna, Peter and Robert Lacey and Jacqueline Pearce), we donned our suits and jumped into the freeeeezing white capped waters of the Pool; this was in July, 1977. We about near froze to death but insisted on getting in for a swim.
Mum would take us down to the Hoylake Baths, I don't know how many at the time, but she ended with 8 of us. Pile us on the bus at Irby, with the picnic basket and sundries. We had great fun on our outings to Hoylake.
