The railway line ran alongside the factory which was set between it and what is now Spitfire Road (don’t know if it was named that back then). Right by Broughs drums if memory serves.
Yep Broughs and GWs were on the ASDA side of the railway in the aptly named Goodlass Rd opposite Edwards Lane
I worked in Broughs from 66-72.
Plenty of nsfw tales in a factory where 80% of the workforce were...and I use the term carefully...women.
Jeez it was an education for a young apprentice with a tendency to blush, soon learnt to show no fear or the pack would savage you.

….i thought the 46 ran from Penny Lane and ended up along Shaw St. I remember getting on it with John Bailey coming back from Liverpool Schoolboy U15 trials. I can still recall what he was saying, he was a character even back then.
The filling floor in Goodies, a scary place for a callow 18 year old.
Where abouts are we talking mate, Speke?

Penny Lane to Spellow Lane, via Shaw St, Netherfield Rd, I used to jump on it getting home from school if I missed my bus (30), at least it got me halfway home! Added bonus was all the Notre Dame girls getting on at Everton Valley!
I worked in Brough Drums in the70s, I use to spray paint the drums, no HS then you would go home and cough up the paint that you had sucked in that day
I was there later in the 70s ,Joe Cavanagh was the boss and lived across the road from us in Speke
Believe me British Rail Blue used to leak from your pores, could go out at the weekend looking like Braveheart
It did.
