Sorry just seen this
i lived there from about 62 to 72
Familes I remember, The Steens, Aldreds, Mellors Caldwells
Ryans DaviesI remeber where the corn factory was built used to be abaondoned fields surround by the hoading but most of us kids could get in there, There used be a lot of what looked like Black Plastic grenades in that filed (great for playing with) I went to the Dell School. (have a picture somewhere I will post) I remember Cliffs Chippy and the launderette on new chester road, I do remember three children being ran over on the zebra crossing there sadly all died and that's why the bridge went up, i rememberer all the mums blocking the road every night until something was done.
I remember also a large explosion one night when a gas bottle exploded whilst they were building Knowsley court the high rise flats. we lived next door the Thomson family.
I remember cutting through someones backyard to get to school via the playing field at Knowsley road alot of us did, when we went to Rock ferry High.
