Thanks for posting Bezzymate - hope you've got some more

Few more

Good pics.

Good pics but i am sure thats new brighton and not seacombe nice to see all the same

Which one do you think is New Brighton chuck?

Ignore the Victoria road bit. Borough road in Seacombe used to be called Victoria road too. Changed it to avoid confusion. It is Seacombe by the way. You can see the Irvine theatre on the right further up the road.

I did wonder if that was the pic that caused the confusion.

Oky Doky my mistake your right soz DOOOOH

Easy mistake to make.

Yes, changed its name in 1918. Street sign still shows 'Victoria Road' under the modern name.

A.k.a the bingo!
i am sure there is still a 'victoria rd' sign high up and above the 'bathroom shop' that used to be a thriving butchers. Corner of Church Road/ Borough Road.

Hubs nan died last year (rip) aged 83 years. She referred to this whole area as "The Village".
By looking at old pics, i understand why, now?
i believe the shops extended past the Five Bars and The Leasowe Pubs, spilling out onto Desmene St and Birkenhead Road.

The view coming into Seacombe from the Dock Rd or the Bridges always reminds me of "Guest House Paradiso"!!

Anyone got any idea where the scout parade picture was taken?

is it dock rd / new street.

That's what I was told when I bought the pic'.
If you take a closer look you cah see that it does say New St on the corner of the road.

sorry should be birkenhead rd not dock rd

Yer,we knew where you meant. Lol

I THINK IT IS BIRKENHEAD ROAD LEADING TO SEACOMBE FERRY

I thought it was St Pauls road? Lots of scouts in those pre computer days.

Yes Sparky you're right!

I think there was a small school in Wilson Road wasn't there

Where exactly is/was Wilson Rd please?

Its at the bottom on the left hand side of the Wallasey Town Hall (parallel to the promenade)

Ah, yes I remember now. Thanks Paul.

The shop was called Jim's

Sorry that the pic is so small,I had to reduce it to 200 before Wiki would accept.

wasn't that Mr Rose's shop a tall old guy who wore a trilby and had a bit of a limp. He used to have his money pinned up in his inside pocket..cos a lowlife robbed him once...don't think he had a car I used to see him walking everywhere

I only remember it as Jim's but ,you have jogged my memory that he wore a hat. I lived in Peter St,the next road up.

Just remembered it wasn't so much a limp but he would slap his right foot down as he walked ...very distinctive ..I remember his surname because I worked in a cash and carry store on Brighton Street (now Ryan's plumbers merchants)so I knew him as Mr Rose...he was a nice man...today's kids would have given him a dogs life and probably rob him blind.

What road is this?

The corner of Church Crescent and St Pauls Road, Seacombe.

Oh yes, i recognise the house now. Didn't know it was a shop. What did it sell? What era?

Isn't that the one that is called Singhsbury's now? Nice to see an Asian with a sense of humour.

No opposite Singhsburys.

Isn't that the house the bridges used to live in? What a joy they were to have in seacombe!

Found these on FB

Thats the one.

Off topic but,what an oppertunity they have missed looting,shame they are banged up!We too enjoyed being hosts to them in New Brighton!

Sooooo, i see the scallies wore wellingtons back in the day of no classics or dr martains.
Wonder when the "sock over trouser" fashion came in?
Should make the little pricks wear stuff like that these days.
It might get rid of the "arrrrr mattteeee, gizzzz aa bifta der laaa" shite they speak!

"arrrrr laaaa, dontttt bee likee daaa kidda, we canntehhh elp it laa, ya get me?"

Nobends.

it was jim savage that had the sweet shop. old mr rose lived on poulton rd near to gepps hardware shop.
