Does anyone remember the council yard that was in Grove St New Ferry? it was next to Grove St School were the car park is now.
i remember going to school and you had to be carefull crossing the entrance incase any bin wagons were coming out,i also remember my Nan telling me that there was a mortuary there at one time were they used to put the dead that were drowned in the river,she said this was when she was a child and they would go and look through the key hole to see if they could see any bodies!!
i remember the yard and there was a door at the side right opposite the school railings and that was were the mortuary was.

does anyone have any pictures of the yard?

Thats news to me, never knew or heard about a mortuary or council yard there. All i remember where the little houses there were the car park is now, some of the little houses had there front doors looking at the entrance to the school gates near the park.

i remember the houses too,but i also remember the council yard being there.

I use to go to Grove Street school when i lived in Town Lane.
