My memories of Wallasey go back to 1945. I went to St George's road school. Mr Sykes was the headmaster. I remember Barry West Valerie Windsor Jennifer Dean and many more.

Does anyone know anything about the mounts area. My grandparents lived in earl street next door to the morning star pub , of which I can find no information.

I attended St Mary's school on the mounts and loved getting the sweets and toffee apples from a quaint little shop on the mounts. Would love to hear from anyone who remembers these places.
