Crosby, Myers Road East
A Memory of Crosby.
That would be Scotts Bakery to the right, surprising us with sliced bread!!! in the 50's and Jump's Dairy to the right foreground; their cows would come in through that gap between the front and the other shops further down. Heigh Ho! I knew and played tennis with Billy Jump at the Brownmoor Club [1955-6] not far off right down Stuart Road, here in the foreground. In the 40's and early 50's, the grocer's on the left corner there used to sell butter from a great lump; "A pound of butter please", would have the gent carving off about that amount and 'patting' -- with butter pats -- it into manageable shape before weighing and wrapping in greaseproof paper. The local post-office is just off camera to the right in Stuart. The L8 and L2 Ribble Bus services both ran past the front of this intersection, turning down Endbutt Lane further off to the right.
