Childhood Great Memories

A Memory of Prescot.

I was born in Victoria Place, Prescot in 1940. Does anyone remember Jonny Mather's sweet shop? I remember the street party when my dad painted Cictoria Place white, and the first car in our street, it was an Austin 8 owned by Mr C Fairclough in no 1 Court. And the Christmas that our Christmas tree caught fire and burned down, it was run off an accumulator because we only had gas. I 'remember 'pegleg' Williams the baker, Bobby Roberts the policeman, old Oakey's shop and sitting under the gas street lamp on a evening telling ghost stories.
