Aitch, Nice evokative pics. thanks very much.
I esp. like the view of Island Row and Petticoat Lane. Playin' footie matches in Ince park with lads from up there .. Sayles, Cowburns, Malones, Westheads, Cavenys, Ellisons, Pulfords, Kellys, Prices, Aldreds, Heskeths, Andrews... . And one other who is one of my finest drinking comrades, step forward Professor Dave Haran of Liverpool Uni and proud Petticoat Laner.
Very sad memories, too, I'm afraid. An Ince Central and HAGS school friend was killed in August '73 riding his bike at the junction with Manchester Rd, the day after he'd receive four brilliant' A' level results. Alan Foy. Tragic.
