i think it has ...it used to have boats for hire, tea room, ice-cream parlour, swinging boats penny slots, and plenty of ducks,but overall the basics are there.. we used to meet up there on our bikes on a sunday, and listen to the top 50 on the radio..happy days
I remember all of those things too, happy memories as you say. If you took a photo today from the same viewpoint as the one you posted though, there's hardly any difference in the look of the place.
What a great thread! I was born in Bromborough (Heathfields) and although my parents lived in Birkenhead at the time we eventually moved to Fairway North in 1971 and lived there for 6 years before moving back to Birkenhead. Went to Bromborough Pool primary and then to Beb' Sec'. My arl fella worked at Austin Packaging and my mum worked at Lever's.I remember when the retail park was just fields of wheat or barley and we used to make dens out of the hay bales. Happy days.
