Sorry Dave that is an original name plate and is cast iron and weighs about 50lbs and if you were back up here and not in the middle of those southern softies you could pop in and have a look, I'am trying to get Dougy jnr to put it up in the aircraft archaeology display, we did have plenty of bomb fields to play on so I think it's fitting.

The moggy is called Mitchell and lives at the fort, it has a following of little kids, a lady from BBC Radio Merseyside does kids stories and she has the cat as a sleeping fort cat in the day and at night a pirate cat up to no good, when she tells the stories at the fort it gets quite busy.

Went to the fort this afternoon and speaking to dougy and another, he is going to set the Lowther st sign on the "battlements" next to the remembrance seat he has for his dad Doughy snr and his mum, as snr was from Lowther st, seems very fitting.

Thanks to everyone on this Forum who have contacted me with such great memories of Lowther and the surrounding streets. More memories are still welcome!

Hi Davew3,

We would still really like to talk to you about your memories of Lowther street and see if we can change your mind about the BBC.
If you have a moment perhaps you could call me on 02080080711 or email [email protected]

Best

Doesnt Paul OGrady mention the Exmouth st area in his memoirs? I know he lived in Holt Hill, but Im sure his aunt was a clippy round town too.

The Lowther St sign is at Fort Perch rock, on a seat above the main gate, Sneezy, yes his Aunt was a Fawcett, they lived in the end house next to the entry where the big hill was.

This is Lowther street back in the 1950's. I think it was the festival of Britain 1951. Does anyone recognise themselves, or any old neighbours????

RE: The first photo above...Taken in Lowther street, 1953. To celebrate Queen Elizabeth II coronation. Does anybody recognise themselves, or any neighbours ??? ( Sorry about posting this separately, but I was unable to "Edit" the original picture post, for some strange reason...)

Of course I can recognise lots of our neighbours, do we know who took these pics?, I got copies off my big sis of these photos years ago but never put them up because they weren't mine also left copies at FPR as Dougies family is on them.

Hi davew 3,
I do not know who the original photographer is either. There must have been lots of copies made, as my mum had these pics for years herself. I just thought I would share them on here, as this site is related to memories of Lowther Street, and the people who lived there.
