Does anyone have memories of liscard circa 1973-1974, my cousins lived there and i got to know the place quite well, the Firemans on thursday nights, the Capitol disco on a friday night, good pubs like the Towers.
What about the Welly and The Boot,the Royal Oak and the Queens all pubs still going maybe a change of name here or there but still selling beer.wine and spirits .
I remember a cafe on Seaview Road called Koffee and Kards (I think that was the spelling). Seemed like a good idea at first, but all the cards ended up slightly curled and reeking of cigarette smoke!
What Fireman's? isn.t that near Conway Street in Birkenhead?

I have a question for all you Wikiwirralians of a certain age !
I'm a big fan of the band Genesis and have an album of theirs that shows a cutting of a telegram confirming a booking for a gig in the late '60s or very early '70s at a club in Liscard called Tomorrow.
This was at a very early stage of their career and the agreed fee was £50. The exact date of the gig is obscured-I can only make out the day and date ..9th October..As I say from my knowledge of the band it was probably from the early part of their career and the address was given as Liscard , Wallasey. Hope someone can help - cheers !
Sorry, can't help with your question but..... just like to agree with you about Genesis. Yes, I'm of a "certain age" too !
Scenes from a Night's Dream..... Poor Little Nemo etc....
A zillion times better than today's crapola ! (IMHO of course!)
I agree with your little voices Mr P - btw , Steve Hackett has just released an album covering a lot of the older Genesis stuff and is well worth a listen.He's on at the Phil next May.
What?! Geneis played Liscard and nobody knew? Gee folks must have really been dazed & confused...tough call as to the best of their early albums, I like Foxtrot but then Again Nursery Cryme hmmmm
