Dzień dobry :)
I looks ok to me.
Maybe it's not worth updating until
the waterfront is all completed. :)
Good Evening Everybody,
Does anyone know anything about Polish
immigration to the Merseyside during World War II ?
I'm quite interested in this topic as my Great-Grand Father was Pilot in the Battle of Britain ( He
was dropping bombs over Dresden in Germany, he is buried on the cemetery in Blackpool)
I would like to write an article about this to our portal and
maybe some newspaper
Many Thanks,
Rafal
jahim,
In the 60's i worked in Granby St. in my mothers grocery shop. At about 16/18, I'm not too sure of
the number a Polish man called Eddie had a rotisserie chicken shop. I never knew his last name, He was always dressed in a suit and wore a tie, very smart
appearance. I was told he was in the R.A.F. during WW2 but he wasn't very talkative about it. That's all I know about him, he was very polite and friendly
when spoken to and he spoke perfect English but he kept himself to himself.
Shytalk,
Thank you for this Valuable information. I guess that all traces are coming to Blackpool, which during WWII became the depot for Polish aircrew.
Many Thanks,
Rafal

There's a Polish guy called Patryk Bednarski living in Liverpool at the moment. He does photography and I've used him a few times for projects. He seems talented and is a thoroughly nice guy.
If I've done this right there are a couple of photo's attached one of Ormalu from 'Heads of State' a now defunct Liverpool band (ok I was in it) which I think is superb and the other a black a white photo of the Dream Space environment which was subsequently involved in tragedy. It was a very colourful environment and Patryk chose to work in black and white to emphasise the human side of it which I thought was unusual - especially if you've seen other peoples photos of this environment - I just like the shots...
Don't know if this has anything to do with the Polish community, but I saw it in Lark Lane Today.
The Masonic has been painted BLACK and renamed.
I was so shocked, I forgot to take a photo. :eek:

Wasn't Speke airport a Polish air base during WWII? My uncle was a Polish Jew whose familly arrived in Liverpool at the turn of the last century. The familly settled in the Brownlow hill area that was apparently full of Polish Jews with their own shops etc. The old butchers on Pembroke place with the green ceramic tiled front was Polish wasn't it? Can't remember the name though..
