Nostalgic memories of Woodchurch's local history

Share your own memories of Woodchurch 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.

Hi Pam I also lived in Ferny Brow, my name was Jean Shacklady, now Jean Lester, I only remember a supermarket in Hoole Road, I remember you and your sister Val and brother John I think.
I remember the first supermarket opening in New Hey Road, don't know the exact year but was about 1958. I went to the opening with my mum and they had a competition to guess the weight of a chicken. My mum had guessed the correct weight and won a pan! My name was Pamela Tyler and I lived in Ferny Brow Road. I went to Fender Primary School and Woodchurch Secondary Modern school. I now live in Scotland but I have very happy memories of the Woodchurch Estate.
I remember going to school and watching the community baths being built and then remembering the the flats opposite the Fender school and the mansionets by Fender School were where I spent most of my time playing and growing up.
