Although I was born in Hull, in 1949, I was raised in
Wallasey. I worked on the Pier Head and Liverpool Docks in the mid
60s, at the time of Radio Caroline North, Swinging 60s and long
hair! Although I have zero affiliations with the footballing side
of the region, I do keep an eye out for Tranmere Rovers results
each week as I lived nearby, after Moreton, when I married my wife
Sue and lived in Egerton Park, and then Bulwer Street, Rock Ferry.
We left there, as a family, in 1981 to live and work in Germany.
And, yes, I still have me accent! We now live in the Midlands but
I still make trips up to Merseyside, in particular, the Wirral, a
couple of times per year on photographic missions, visit family.
My three children are now all grown up and I have two marvellous
grandson's and a grandaughter. I hope you enjoy this nostalgic
trip around the region, I know I have; and have made many new
friends in the process. Genevieve on Bidston Hill, Ken Burnley,
historian and many correspondents who send me images and
information. Colin Schroeder, historian, Greasby. Prof Stephen
Harding and found some long lost friends too.Since
1974, the Wirral became part of Merseyside but people on the Wirral did not
recognise nor like this fact. Even now 34 years later, this is still prevalent. Great
enjoyment was taken in more recent years, in a lot of quarters, when the
Liverpool postcode was dropped and Wirral returned to a CH (Chester) postcode.
