Very good,enjoyed looking at them..

Good to see pictures from before the world went mad and stopped youngsters enjoying themselves with exciting play.

I particularly like the one of the slides; nothing to stop you falling off. There is a notice saying something is "STRICTLY PROHIBITED", but I can't read what it is, so at least a nod in the direction of H&S.

Ah, witches hats and real swing horses! Fabulous. Remember them well. Thanks Zippy

fabulous black and white pics,thanks zip for sharing them, very enjoyable.

I think it says "walking or sliding head first is" STRICTLY PROHIBITED!!!

It also has 'Girls Only' written on the side of the nearest slide.

Would they have been metal or wood to slide down at that time, I can't remember that far back ?

I thought the girls only was put there by the girls themselves.
I think I remember them as metal and recall they got very hot in the sun.

Cross Lane Moreton. Where was this? I assume that like Station road becoming Pasture road when Moreton became part of Wallasey, the name was changed or just disappeared?

It's a long shot, but there's a Cross Lane leading off Leasowe Road by Lidl - perhaps it extended much further in those days?

As Greenwood says, Maybe Cross Lane is the one with the dogs home off Leasowe Road.
I`ll delve more tomorrow.

Moreton Cross

Pasture Road Bridge

Seacombe ferry, docks

Mr Daly was lucky :-)
Yes, I know he was not there then......
At least now you know why there are no shops next to him, bombed.

Derby Pool, Harrison Drive

Mother Redcaps, bit hard to make it all out

Entitled Ringobells, Wallasey Village. Is it a pub on the end or just an advert?. Bert... You may know.

My dad built that road, all by himself :-))

Bidston Station

Pub, not just an advert, corner of School Lane I think, cottages known locally as Ring O' Bells cottages.
In 1892 the pub was tied to Yates & Company, Landlord, Thomas Titley found himself before the magistrates for opening on a Sunday.

The corner of School Lane and Wallasey Village is correct. This is the Breck Road end before Wallasey Village was widened.
The pub stood opposite the Cheshire Cheese pub, which is still there.
Houses were built on the land that would have been behind the Ring O'Bells. They were subsequently demolished (bomb damage?)to be replaced by the low rise apartments that are there now.

Thanks Guys, I recognise the place now. I think Bert has posted a map a few times of the two pubs.
Just found a copy.

Oh no he didn't,I was there from '67 to '69!

I remember my dad telling me he carved his name in the sandstone on the right, close to the bridge. They put netting over the rocks now to help spread the plant life so I doubt if his name will ever be seen. I used to be the "can lad" when they had the huts by Sherlock Lane bridge. Cooking the dinners etc and running to the shops. I used to make a few bob doing that. We were all covered in mud, I used to get the job of scrapping the mud of the workers boot as they would weigh a ton with so much mud on them. Ahh, the good old days. Riding in Jcb`s and walking on the tracks of those big cranes.

I was based at the materials testing lab at the bottom of old
Gorsey Lane.Spent many an hour testing the concrete used in constructing the Sherlock Lane Bridge.I was very fond of the small bakers at the top of the lane!Probably saw you in your early career.Did your dad work for McAlpines?
