Nostalgic memories of Liverpool's local history

Share your own memories of Liverpool and read what others have said

For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our web site to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was when the photographs in our archive were taken. From brief one-liners explaining a little bit more about the image depicted, to great, in-depth accounts of a childhood when things were rather different than today (and everything inbetween!). We've had many contributors recognising themselves or loved ones in our photographs.

Why not add your memory today and become part of our Memories Community to help others in the future delve back into their past.

Add a Memory!

It's easy to add your own memories and reconnect with your shared local history. Search for your favourite places and look for the 'Add Your Memory' buttons to begin

When I Was A Child
I can clearly remember pushing my doll's pram up to the shops with my mother from our home in South Mossley, Hill Road.  I was always fascinated by the overhead cash delivery system in the Co-op shops.  The very end shop was the Co-op selling haberdashery and shoes, I think that was where my love for shoes was born! A cake shop called Wallers was next door, another favourite place of mine! The Co-op food shop ...see more

Receiving My Certificate
I attended a presentation at St George's Hall as a youngster, where I received a beautiful certificate in recognition of an essay I had written. I have no idea what I wrote about but since the RSPCA awarded the certificate, then I assume it must have been about animals. As a very shy, not-at-all-confident child, I remember nervously waiting and waiting for that moment to come. At last, I climbed the few ...see more
