Shepherds Rest, First local pub with Stella on Draught, if I remember correctly. Oh those hangovers........... Do you remember when Jack Randles had it Zip ? Or maybe you're not quite as old as me
Cant remember any names of Landlords any where, oh except for TOEJOE(TOETOE)?, must be spelt wrong, that was his nick. Something to do with being a Little Hitler or Dog LOL. Small fellow, his throat fitted nicely in my hand a few times :-)
Ah, yes might help if I said where he worked.. St Joey`s social club in Wheatland Lane
My Granddad work on the docks all his life, but I have no clue what he done. Must ask my Mum. My dad also worked in the mills, I remember him waving to me from the roof of the mill between the bottom of Oakdale Road and Stone Manganese
I was actually asked to leave school for being a rebel. I have no qualifications. I told the Head Master that the school was rubbish and I`d rather teach myself. Now you know why I always get booted wherever I roam. :-)
http://www.wirralhistory.net/liscard.html it wasn't really a castle. Locals gave it that name but it's proper name was Marine Villa. It belonged to a John Marden (Seabank Road was originally Marsden's Lane). John Marsden manufactured brooms, hence it became Broom Castle, then Liscard Castle
