Anyone remember the Sandpiper club in Conway Street that existed in the 70s? It had many name changes through the years. It was the second floor of what is now the Cool Room or the Beach. I haven't been back in there since the 70s.

i remember the sandpiper very well its were i met my hubby of thirty five years so very fond memories for me, befor that it was the california club, can remember that very well too.

The very first time I went they were playing Sugar-Sugar by the Archies. Every time I hear it I always think of the Sandpiper. I actually met my wife in the Saddle Prenton, also on my first visit there. Still together after 20 years this year & our 15th wed anniversary. That's right about the Sandpiper, people always refered to it as the Calli.

how about Bob Martins in conway street think it was an American type soda bar for kids think it was around late 50s early 60s.

I had my first Saturday job in Liscard Co-op, in the cosmetics department. One of the girls who worked with me kept squirting herself with Brut ~phew~ and the Bronnley lemon soap they sold tended to make me sneeze. The cafe upstairs sold hot eccles cakes, whch I remember fondly! Unlike the lockers, from which I kept getting static electricity stings - nylon overall. Ugh.

Also remember Lennons on Seaview Road; it used to be a cinema and that was where I saw my first film - Bambi. When Bambi's mother was shot, I was NOT a happy bunny...

apart from fields&ponds (tigers+bears oh! my!) site of tescos there (my grandpappy mentioned) was the old compton tin tip?....oh yeah +also 'Georgies field' aka Tramere training field. behind there was the old steel works-surrounding area fields+moss swamps!! as ye olde wikiwise ones are aware of bypass once was a mere dirt road....also.... does anybody remember the lil shop halfway down craven st?

Used to do the weekly shop there with my Mum at the Asda, and funnily enough before it was Asda it was St. Andrew's Square, were my Dad grew up!!

before asda and the co-op it was leos on the woodchurch with a rooftop car park. molong
