Old Photos Of Where You Live

…..remember doing Thurstaston Hill as a kid and getting stuck on Hilbre Island when on a school trip in ‘60s.

That air raid tunnel on Bidston Hill is still there to this day, along with many others like under the Littlewoods building on Edge Lane.

My Grandparents lived directly down the hill from Grange Hill, but we used to do Bidston and Thurstaston Hills as well! Then Hilbre Island depending on the weather and the time of the tide! Happy days!

P.S. off to Festival Trials day tomorrow , any hints as to where my £2.50’s ew should go ?

The famous exchange with Churchill when she accused him of being drunk and he said ‘he’d be sober tomorrow but she’d still be ugly’. Great woman and formidable fighter who did far more for this area than he ever did;
