    It's very nice to hear some nice things about Poles in England, and Liverpool as well. We have english speakers corner on our

    forum. Fell free to leave messages or anything you want (http://www.liverpool.one.pl/forum/viewforum.php?f=7)

    I can also help you with

    organising Polish Football team, we have couple of Lads who are really into Footy (just let me know, please so I can start working on this).

    We'll be

    soon updating our website, which regards to new design an layout, but most important - we'll probably add some english content and informations.



    BTW. do you really think the front picture is out of date ?

    Regards,

    Hi, welcome to the

    forum. Once you could have a picture of Liverpool and leave it for 10 years, but now the skyline is changing every ferw weeks. The picture on the site is a

    good one, but there is no Unity Building or the rising Beetham West tower.

    Default "Old" polish imigration

    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.
    You can always count on Americans to do the right thing - after they've tried everything else.

    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.

    Thanks and I might be in touch if we cant get a team from within the Liverpool area.

    Exchange rate. The more pounds they earn the more it gets them in Poland. 5 years over here and they go back very well off.

    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..

    So if anyone knows of a Polish team please send me a private em and i will get in touch.
    I am from Liverpool myself but we do all sorts of events over the Uk and europe,but I think this will be perfect for Liverpool.
