Might have seen you do that…scored a few there, just saying
! One of my mates from primary school lived in a house on Jubilee Road, we’d “occasionally” climb over his garden wall and drop down on to the cinder path on the side of the pitch, 1968-72ish!I suspect you were there after that?

…I never played for Marine but certainly played there and scored. Yep, it was later than ‘72. I was scoring at Old Trafford and Elland Rd in ‘71
As you can tell, I’m very modest about my goals.

69-70 onwards I was lucky enough to be at Goodison more regularly with my Dad, but still enjoyed the occasional drop down off the garden wall into Marine!…I never played for Marine but certainly played there and scored. Yep, it was later than ‘72. I was scoring at Old Trafford and Elland Rd in ‘71

My grandmother moved to Gleave Square when it opened, looked a death trap then, mid 70's.
She was one of the last to leave..health reasons,demolished now...how much money wasted from rehousing and demolition...then rehousing and demolition..again
….I remember it getting built, it was just the other side of Everton Rd. Our street was one of the last to get demolished, we moved to Knotty Ash whilst the family next door went to Gleave Square.
Henglers Circus pub was built where we lived and the area turned into ‘Ratcliffe Estate’.
It's not my thread @Eggs started it -a great idea now Twitter is off limits to non-members a very good idea by Eggs ....
St George's Pier Head baths in 1954. They were the first publicly owned baths to be built in the UK - a year before I was born ....

The Harold Davies Public Baths on East Prescot Road, Dovecot, were opened in 1936 and closed in 1988, being demolished shortly after. They were called after the head of Liverpool Public Baths Committee, and were identical to the William Roberts Public Baths in Norris Green.
On July 21st 1951 a Festival of Britain Gala was held there, and the Baths have been replaced with a small group of houses in Gala Close.
There were 3 elevated pools - a children's pool, a 25 yard pool, and a 10 feet deep diving pool with rails around it. The changing rooms were on the balcony. Clothes off and into a wire framed basket which you handed in and received a metal tag on a pin to attach to your cozzy -
