Some good memories there.
As a kid, I found the Large Objects Museum at Princes Parade absolutely fascinating. The old trams, buses and fire engines, all sorts of cool machinery to explore, happy days.
Further out, when I was still a kid my mum used to keep us off school and we'd go with friends to Frontierland, Morecambe. You could buy a wrist band which entitled you to use any ride as many times as you wanted. I was an only child raised by a single mum and such was the tenacity of my mum, we would get a railcard which entitled kids to travel for only a quid, pack our own food and get the train from Huyton to spend the day there.
We would literally spend hours and hours there on the Log Flume, Haunted Silver Mine and rollercoaster not to mention the fun house and arcades. Probably frowned upon, but imagine being kept off school to go there? Absolutely brilliant.
Alehouse/club wise, I spent most of my 20's and 30's going the Cabin on Wood Street, not everyones cup of tea but I loved it there. The DJ's were awful but in all the years I went, I never saw a fight once and you got a lollipop for going with!
