Shared Memories of Parkgate
 Parkgate, the Beach c1940 (ref: P255007) |
Year: 1950
Connah''s Quay Power Station and the Salt Marsh Reclamation Project
DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE ALL THE SAND AT PARKGATE AND HESWALL WENT TO? and does anyone have any memories of how the Salt Marsh has changed since the first land/salt marsh reclamation scheme was launched (so I've been told) in the 1930s? Does anyone remember the building of Connah's Quay Power Station in 1950, does anyone remember seeing the sand dredger being used to build the foundations for the new power station plant (in 1950) and how did the AEA/CEGB salt marsh reclamation project effect Parkgate beach and the estuary?

 Parkgate, c1955 (ref: p255301) |
Family memories.
I was amazed and delighted to see a photograph of my mother and grandmother. Nearest the camera is my grandmother, Mrs Archie Turner (1892-1974) who lived in Whitford Road, Birkenhead. Next to her is her eldest daughter, my mother, Mrs Clifford Bolt (1916-2003) who lived in Arthur Street, Birkenhead. They would both have been tickled pink to see themselves in print and famous!
