Hi Lynne, Re Photographs-Other people. No 35 was taken at the lower end of Greyhound Farm Rd. Right hand side. Child with back of head showing then the boy behind him is Tommy Mottram. Behind him Elsie Guy. The girl with the paper hat looks like Brenda Tinman and I am sitting behind her. My mother Nina Williams is behind me. Best wishes Kathy Ball ( nee Williams)
This is a piece taken from the local newspaper advertising the Speke Together Carnival which was organised by the Team Vicar of Speke, Michael Rooke. This piece shows local boy Paul Argent who was working for Lockheeds in Speke at the time. Anyone remember Howards on the Parade, mentioned in the advert?
Ian Mowat gave me these photos from the 60's of him and his mates at Speke Hall. I've included them to show how cool teenagers were those days.... and secondly because there's a nice dog, Prince in the photo!
Mick Millea, John McCartney and Colin Leadbetter - Speke Hall is exactly the same but I can't say the same for the rest of us!
