Purveyor Of Sweetshops

I knew all the best sweet shops on Lavendar Hill Rd. Easily the best was Browns Sweet shop where Stormont Rd met Lavendar Hill. It had every sweet you could think of and seemed to be open 7 days a week until 9pm. I think the ...Read more

My Grandad was Ken Derham, the village baker. I lived at the bakery for a short time when I was aged about 9. I remember him making the bread and being allowed to help him fill the donuts with jam. I can still smell how wonderful the ...Read more

When The Reverend Nichols Was The Rector

Sadly, I believe St Michael's Church is little more now than a ruin of it's former self, nothing like it was in the 1940's when it seemed to stand proudly on the hill watching over and protecting the small ...Read more

St Joseph's Catholic church stands in Arrowe Park Road, just a short step from the main cross-roads in the village. It was designed by Adrian Scott and opened in 1954.

It is hard to believe that when this pier was built, it was so far away from the town centre that the revenue it generated fell far short of what had been anticipated.
