Old Photos Of Where You Live

[Huyton Layne]

Was raised on princess drive and still live a stones throw from there, and worked the majority of my career in Huyton and for the love of me I can’t reconcile these two images are of the same place

Without actual skills that's about as good as I can do. Meshes up fairly nicely.

So the majority of that is behind what I've always referred to as Page Moss Shops

Huyton had many farms surrounding it right upto after World War 2 - My late mother told me as a girl how she played in the farmers fields eg the now St Johns estate- Manor Farm Road was on the perimeter of the newly built housing estate to take over spill from Liverpool City centre .
Huyton was a tiny village back then,
