Had my first pint {brown mix} in the county late 1955. Few of the mates I knocked round with in those days along with the ones from Priory buildings lived in the Abbey buildings {block behind the county.} Few of the family's surnames where the Sherlocks, Williams and the Mcgraws.

I was trying to access the pictures of Abbey Buildings as my father and his family were brought up there however even though registered, I can't access. It says I have to be a "user plus" but no instructions as to what this means. Thanks.

There's a real danger that the left will drag Britain back to the 1970s, with secure well-paid jobs, ample housing, properly-funded NHS and social care, free tuition, student grants, final salary pensions, affordable rail fares and fabulous films and music. David Osland 2025

I'm sure we didn't have to pay to see the photos on the History Information Request thread in the past? When did this start? (Sorry, strictly speaking this is OT - move/remove if necessary)

If you're asking about Ian Duncan, Duncan is his surname and he went to the BI.
think his dad went on to manage The Farmers Arms in New Ferry after the Letters
