I lived at 34 Livingstone road from 1960 to 1965. I went to Well Lane School. I remember the outdoor at the bottom of Livingstone Road with the frosted glass. Opposite was ‘Billy’s’ ,a grocery store . At the top of Livingstone road was the Bluebird cafe. It may have been a cafe at one time but it was more of a sweet shop in the early sixties. Opposite the other side of Livingstone road was an electrical shop. I remember the bombed out buildings on St. Paul’s road and the co-op dairy in Etna Street.

My GGrandparents lived in Seafield House ( not sure if he owned or rented it). They had market gardens adjoining and sold their produce on Birkenhead market. Their daughter and my grandmother lived opposite in Rose Cottages. They were both bombed out in the war and lost everything….
