Beaconsfield St Was My Childhood
A Memory of Prescot.
I was born in number 11 in 1932. My family name was Clough. MY dad was known to most people as Sammy Clough. We moved to number 28 a few years later. My Grandparents lived at 24. My great aunt at 22. I went to primary school and Sunday School in the Street . We used the shop at the top of the street known as Ginny Woodward's.
Most of my memories were of 1940s, of air raids when my sister and I slept under the stairs during the Liverpool blitz. I recall evacuees coming to the school. I lived in Beaconsfield St. all my early life I left Central School in Whiston at 14 years and 2 months old. I left school on the Friday and started work at Stephenson's Printers in Market Place on the Monday.I was married from the street at Prescot Parish Church. My first child was born in Beaconsfield street. It truly was my life for so many years. Irene.
