Little Crossby, Big Memory

Birkenhead, Arno Park c1955

My friend and I would go on numerous bike rides around Formby, Southport and Crossby. We came from Bootle and as we were only 12 years old these bike rides seemed to be a trip into another world.

Birkenhead, Arno Park c1955

77 Bus.

Birkenhead, Ferry and Bus Terminus 1964

Memories! Memories! I just logged on to the site and how interesting to see the old 77 bus at Woodside Ferry. My husband to be at the time worked on the Birkenhead Transport . I met him on the 77 Bus route going through from Woodside to Upton. We married in 1963. Fond Memories. Still together 45 years down the road.
