Merseyside memories
Grandparents
My nanny & granddad lived in Orrell Park, Westfield Road. I remember very well growing up because I lived in Aintree at that time, visiting them with mum & dad. We would get the number 60 bus up to the corner of their road. On an occasional Saturday evening I would stay with nan & grandad while mum & dad would go to the Carlton Cinerma to watch a film. Many a happy time was spent in Orrell Park. The good old days!

Memories of kirkby
I remember my time in Quarry Green, and the white council 2 storey flats next to what we knew as "Spinney woods", and the bus turnaround, the pub called "The Black Swan", and then there was the primary school opposite Quarry Green, and I recall the "Z cars" programme was also based on a character at the fire station, Bob Steel. Also the water tower near Roughwood High School. And my first kiss with Janette McNicholl, by the railway line near Melling Drive.

Walton Hospital
The year I was born at Walton Hospital. The war was still on and as I was growing up I remember my mum saying to me just after I was born there was a bomb drop on the Maternity Unit at the hospital and all the new mothers & babies had to be transferred to Southport.
