Are you sure about that? they moved them because of sectarian tension?
I would think that statement is far from true.
Scottie road was famous for its friendliness and community spirit, Yes it had problems like any other area, no worse than any other had it. overcrowding and a little thing called The Mersey Tunnel took many people away from the area.
A lot of the families stayed in the area until the 1980s/90s when most of the tennement flats ( that they liked living in ) where knocked down. A lot of people who live in the area now have family history dating back over 100 years in the area. I guess they must have moved all the Sectarians out in WW2 or sent them to fight?
I find that statement unbelievable, did you even think before you wrote your reply?
Google Scotland Road and see the vast amount of detail that comes up all written by proud Scottie roaders. Salt of the earth people who took no messing but would do anything for you.
Maybe you think it must have been so sectarian as so many Irish lived there? I know they are one of your favourite races.
You should read the Scottie press web site, lots of people holding reunions and writing nice things about this violent area.
