Hi I was born in the Sandgate road prefabs at the bottom of Appledore road Spekein 1951
I am still looking for any photos of sandgate road prefabs. Was barnham way
and the playing fields you mentioned opposite Speke Town Lane and the crescent. If so I walked past there every day on my way to St Christophers school.

I went to st christophers school as well, and yes it was around there. I've not been able to find any pictures of the prefabs in speke either and I've been looking for ages. Although I did do a google search and found some pictures of prefabs in other areas of Liverpool.
My gran lived in Stocktonwood, my aunt lived in the prefabs, that part of speke awas really nice, the cresent, the library.
I had family in Lovell, Hale Road and down by the Orient.

Hi Folks,
Yes the were simple and carefree days in the prefabs. St Christophers was a longwalk from Sangate road especially in the winter. Do you remember the teachers in St Chrissies. Mr Brown, Mr Garnett, and Mr Ireland and having to stand perfectly still when the whistle went at the end of break otherwise you would get the stick . Discipline ruled.

It was a long walk! I remember a teacher called miss bleese she used to hit you on the knuckles with a bunch of keys or some wooden rulers if you did something wrong. Did you have to wear a school cap?
