Old Photos Of Where You Live

[Street end man]

Can’t say I heard about that. Had a good social club. Can’t believe you could go and pour 3 pints down your neck at lunchtime and go back into work

The world has now completely changed now Tommy sadly, great times. I'll have to google the plane crash incident now, I'm sure I was told about it when I was an apprentice.

Abbey Cinema 1979 the star picture house of its time with Cinerarma screen -
I can remeber reading an article in the Echo of an old couple who parked their brand-new car on the car park for a long blockbuster film of that era - they came out the car would not start - the RAC came out lifted the bonnet & some thieves had removed their brand-new engine -

An occasion to be taken there as a kid.

Lived on the new estate opposite the English Electric at the age of 11. Was working at Goodlass Wall at 18 in 78. Did 9 years there. Henry Cooper doing the adverts for Valspar paints.

Tommy just found an old news clipping. It was a Canbrian airways (Viscount i think) that overshot the speke runway and crashed in to Goodlass walls, which was then called Mothacks I think.

GW was at the end of Goodlass Road when I worked there. That would be some overshoot. Maybe a different site
