Harrison Drive - 16th Feb 2010 10:47pm
Wondering if anyone has any old photos (or memories) of Harrison Drive? Particularly thinking of the stretch from where the shalets used to be as far as the Derby Pool and the big play areas (remember the trampolines?) - that bit was always packed on a hot summer's day. Then, if you carried on walking along the 'prom' it always seemed to get colder and windier and more lonely; there were weird dark bumpy rocks down below (I used to think they looked like crocodiles!), and then suddenly the concrete walkway ran out and there was a cove, a natural inlet, all yellow sandstone if I remember rightly, big dramatic cliffs to a small boy (as I was then). I could never wait to turn round and walk back to civilisation. Even 30 years ago that was all built up to make it easy for the walker to get over to Leasowe and beyond. Wish I had some pics to put up myself!
