Just thought i would add these two pics to this Woolton thread...

The date is the 6th of July 1957..

and the first pic contains a 16 year old John Lennon (this is the day he met Paul McCartney) and the rest of the Quarrymen on the Rose Queen parade...

these were taken going down Kings Drive..
the route was..
Down Kings Drive..
Up Hunts Cross Avenue..(past Mike & Acies chippy)
Then up Manor Road..
going back into the village.

Hi Kezzie,
great pic's,and can't say I've ever seen them before, which made me think,are they your's? If so, is it O.K. to save them for personal use? I know a couple of people who'd like to see them!
Ta Steve.

Been a while since i went to Woolton, will have to go before too many shadows in the Winter to try any photos.

Looked again and enlarged. John Lennon is in the check shirt. I don't think he knew he was having his photo taken.

I think the car is George's (i may be wrong) he was living on Mackets Lane when this was taken..

as for the model?

sorry don't know.

speaking of Mackets Lane (just on the border of Woolton) have this pic taken in 1954...

Hi Kezzie, great pics!

Were did they come from?

[M6AJJ]

No the car is not the Super model as that had a white stripe on the side and such desirable extras as "Ankle Straps".

It is a deluxe and it has also a scrape down the side.
