OMG i just had a lovely surprise Tricia’s voice is amazing to listen, love her to bits xx

I grew up on Bedford Road in the 80's just over the road from Lukes. Been searching for a photo of my old home for years and in every pic I find of Bedford Road, it's just out of shot! Great pics though and thanks for sharing.

Two great amateur boxers from Rock Ferry. Peter McCann and Robbie Davies. Both ABA Champions..

My dad worked in the Lord Raglan, we had the New Inn, on the other corner.

Used to walk from New Ferry along the Mersey to Rock Ferry in the 50s as a kid...

These photos are wonderful. I was born in Romally Street in 52 takes me back to my childhood .i wish my mum was still here to see them

This is good thanks. My mom was from Rock Ferry. My dad worked at Crosville back in the 60s. Unfortunately I don’t recall to much of this area only been there a couple of times. my parents emigrated before I was born.

Great video I love the music. I never knew Thornton Hough had tennis courts and I drive through there a lot.

Looks different now

hi i bought a house in rockferry in 1987 2 green lawn it was called arden it was owned by a dr ramsell. it was built in the 1820s i renovated it keeping all the original features i lived there until 1999 it was a great house. i seen it on youtube last week an estate agent has made a film of it to sell all the characture has gone but a great place to live. all the rooms where 4 meteres wide and someone said that maybe french prisoners of war built it with the house next door.

Absolutely brilliant so many memories

I was born at st caths. Brought up in broughm street. Rock ferry My granny lived in Beaconsfield road I was just a kid when the old market burnt to the ground. There was a photo of my mates dad putting out the fire On a ladder, 'he was a fireman. The fire was a massive fire and totally destroyed the market. My grandfather worked as a clicky on the crosville buses and he also had his own office in Woodside in the list property.. Johnnie winstanley. He was a big character and made everyone smile who met him,'which was most people in Birkenhead due to his job of being on buses everyday.. How times have changed!!. It's so sad really that it had to turn into a horrible place How the heroin changed this town. I hope that one day money is injected into the town and the people get to be happy once again.. I remember the old church in the quarry. I remember my granny used to go the chandler on new Chester road lol. Some good memories here. I was but a child.. I remember the Christmas tree 🎄🌲🎄🌲. Very well at Charing cross.. And dewhurst the bakery on the corner lol. I lived in oxton road when I was a teen. That woman crossing the street on Grange road could even be my aunty Ada..she lived just round the corner. She had the head scarf and the coat and a trolley. She too lived on oxton road in claredon close. The pubs where always heaving and there was a much warmer vibe then to now. Ghosts of the past!!!!! I remember the orange 🍊🍊🍊 lodge walks every week and my granny would say "shut that door son to keep the proddydogs out lol.. RIp violet Sheldon.my gran. Tommy Sheldon Grandad.

Love the 60 years on at the Bedford. Good work.

I have such lovely memories of Port Sunlight. I worked there from the time I left Rock Ferry High School 1979 for two months before Sheffield Uni Sadly the school no longer existis. Lovely time I had in RFHS with our wonderful. WONDERFUL Teachers. Great memories and thank you Soooo much However I worked in Sunlight as a guy that put the soap into the vats to be turned into Imperial Lather Omo or Persil ! In the time I worked there I was able to buy an old BSA Gold Star wh was very second hand and through life I always lusted after that bike again and eventually bought a 1953 BB500 about ten years ago wh brings back memories. Being the age it is I have had to deal with the problems of old age as I have I went to the Museum with a mate of mine who worked there for 10 y and didn’t know it existed. I showed him the 50 y between. Y first and last entries there on the register. Wonderful memories now that I’m entering my dotage Cheers to you all Carpe Diem Ralph Parsons

Lived in the prefabs ( 29 Ludlow Road ) 50’s & 60’s . Happy days,we had nothing but neither did anybody else but great community spirit.

Great collection of photos. I live on wirral now (from Liverpool) work at stagecoach so great to see crossville depot and surrounding areas.

Well done. Very enjoyable.

Thank you Fred. I enjoyed walking the old paths.

Wonderful. My parents grew up in this area and they always talked about some of these things that i have never seen. Some of them i know from being a young boy visiting relatives there. I went back a number of years and so many of the rows of terraced houses by the train tracks had been knocked down including where my auntie lived who used to have a shop on Rochester Road. It made me sad xx but thank you for this collection

we lived in the pre fabs number 18 great crowd of people many happy times

my first home was 36 Rockville street,grandad drank in rockville pub.1950's

Nice collection of photographs, the varied eras add to the mix. Thank you.
