This might seem an insignificant photo, but it's another window to our past.
We'd play footy on Sevy Park every Sunday, back in the day there was no such thing as bottled water, so walking down to the fountain at half time was like having your first pint after the game. A few weeks before I saw this pic I was walking past where it was with my daughter and I was trying to explain there was a drinking fountain there once :)


Remember it well. My school had its cross country route in the park. That fountain was a lifesaver some days 🤣⛲

After seeing a piece on the Echo app featuring Dock Road pictures from 1980 I had a look at the photographers website. There are lots of fantastic shots.

Brings a tear to my eye this picture, so moving,

Two Little Girls

Two little girls...aged about 4.
Standing outside their front door.
Friends or sisters, it's hard to tell.
Brought up in such a living hell.
In shelters or under tables to run.
While smokey skies hide the sun.
Another siren, another Hitler raid.
Look at the price these 2 kids paid.
Filthy dirty, in soot, ash and grime.
Sad, tired eyes, that no longer shine.
Both girls cling on to a push chair.
Sitting inside it, is a little teddy bear.
The girls half smile, as teddy is ok.
Innocent victims of war...still at play.
Hillsborough...Our Greatest Victory (out now)

That’s at the Cressington end with Garston Docks in the background.

Often went down there as kids and were always a bit disappointed that we didn’t have a beach like New Brighton though.

For some reason I remember the cheese and piccalilli butties I was given to make sure I was out of the house all day.

The days of gentlemen footballers, recognised every face except the bloke on the very far right as you look at it and the one immediately above Ken (albeit you can only see the hair). Should be able to work that out from who is missing from below


Chris Lawler, Roger Hunt, Geoff Strong, Tommy Lawrence, Ron Yeats, Gerry Byrne, Ronnie Moran?, Ian Callaghan, Alf Arrowsmith, Tommy Smith, Gordon Milne


plus Bob Shankly, Joe Fagan and Bob Paisley


Gordon Wallace, Willie Stevenson, Peter Thompson, Ian St.John (does not look like the last two)

A remarkable and brilliant bit of film that , bet the guy who filmed it would never have imagined newly 90 years later people would be marvelling over it . Such a New York vibe on there too especially the construction of the India Buildings

Hmm. You may be having a bit of a laugh but last Friday I walked past the ventilation shaft of the Wallasey Tunnel at Seacombe and read the memorial to the nine men killed during it’s construction.

Building sites are still dangerous places but probably a  lot safer now than in the 1960s when the tunnel was being excavated.

Just noticed it’s a Threlfalls pub.

Our office was just behind the brewery in Trueman Street and regularly visited to test and stamp beer meters before they were fitted in pubs.

In the early 70s visits were always accompanied by a couple of free pints and you’d have a chat with traffic wardens and postmen who were also enjoying the free hospitality. ;D

Nice pic's, Rob.

I spent a few afternoons in The Futurist. Also remember Eros on London Road, although I never went in.

Got loads of stuff from Greenberg's back in the day.

I see Les Dennis was on at the She Club in those ads.  :)

£1.25 to get into the Spion Kop. Those were the days, my friend...
Talking about Greenbergs a while back and me mate said he got his rig out for the 86 cup final there "Lutha jacket and cargo pants". Another lad said he got his rig out there  too "2nd officer on a  Norwegian freighter!"
Bitter? Not me.
