I heard the other day, someone talking about the sizable Swedish community
we have here. I know we have a Scandinavian church.
I have relatives in Maghull, and many of their neighbours are Polish. Three generations. The Poles settled during the war years and have brought up their families in Maghull.
Yes, a lot of temporary housing was built for many, including The Polish. During the war people were evacuated out to Maghull, including refugees. Which seems really odd to me coming from Maghull, it is more built up now than back then, but seems so close to Bootle/Liverpool. Lots of people stayed to live here, but yes, the Polish presence that remained has been noted more than any other nationality. I am not sure if some of the properties were built with housing the Polish in mind.
I noticed that there is also a Polish food store on Picton Road, may be there is a Polish community in that area???
