Thanks for your offer.
The gold ran our about 11 years ago when lots of beneficiaries emigrated. Left the area in poverty and loss of "posh" status

Still get a good pint in the Halfway though.
Is the Dairy still on Swan Hill? A good pint there too!

You do still get a great pint in the Halfway House. I go there to watch the footie and my wife Sue loves the beer garden to have a ciggie. The Swan co-op dairy has long gone before we moved here in 2000 but the Swan pub is now on the same site I believe but we don't frequent it. What is your history with the area warbey?
Born Birkenhead, grew up in Barnston and wandered the Wirral extensively.
Used to be a Church Hall , maybe St Stephens? and held a dance there each Sat many years ago.
Used to come from Levers Causeway through via Oxton etc along the ridge to the North End and St James's Church.
I know pretty well the whole area.
Many happy times when wandering wasn't dangerous.
St Stephens Church Hall in Prenton Lane is still there but no Saturday night dances any more.
I remember those happy times wandering. I lived in Eastham until my early teens and used to wander in the opposite direction, Hooton , Willaston, Ledsham, Neston and beyond. Working through the Summer hols on the farms.
Plenty of wandering, the only time we ever jumped a bus was for school 4 mile away and we never had a car ride like these days. As you say, less dangerous times back then (unless our perceptions have changed as crime is reported more and communicated through more widely available channels).
I had school friends in Bebington and used to go to Birkenhead as an apprentice.
Worked in Lairds for a short while and Rock ferry Tranmere through to Sunlight and Bromborough and as far as Rivacre were normal.
I worked at Kelvinators for a couple of years too. Also had a motorbike or three, so visited Clatterbridge a few times to be put back together..
Although I rarely visit the area now I stil have fond memories, even of the back-ache picking spuds for Local Farmers.
Tenerife will allow two crops a year in that climate by the way.
Enjoy
