Argyle street South

Do you remember when?
Do you have a storey to tell of days gone by in the picture?

lol not much changed on that one

A reverse angle looking up Argyle Street South 2007

haha crazy! almost identical

Spooky ( We were there at the same time today ).

I love that hill from the very top if i start cycling from church road and get a constant speed of 10mph i can reach 30mph on a cycle going down that hill heh ! very gooood!!!

The later pics. bring back memories. The street on the left, just beyond the bus, is Mollington St. where there was a railway motive power shed & coaling station. Occasionally used to go there in the late 1940's when I was just into my teens & if I was lucky, get a ride on the footplate to Woodside. Later, mid 1950's when I was a projectionist at the Plaza in Borough Rd. I used to have to collect the newsreel film from Central station twice a week.

Interesting stuff.

Thanks for sharing.

Its snippets like that we created these forums for, so we can get some idea what it was like in the past.

As joe says thanks for sharing

Ha! don't get me started. Although I live in Shrewsbury now, I visit regularly. Although much has changed, some areas, like Oxton & Claughton have hardly changed at all. I was a child in Birkenhead during the war. My father worked all his life as a shipwright at Lairds & was in "Dads' Army" & we had an Anderson shelter in our garden. My dad used to take me to watch Tranmere Rovers, which I guess is why I'm not interested in football now.
Glad to have found this site.
Cheers, Chris.
