    Well I don't know who wrote the original post - but he must have been about my age - all of the people he mentioned did exist - cos I knew them and went to school with most of them!! There was no tram turntable in Horrocks Avenue by the old dole though - not in the 60s cos the trams had finished and we had buses.



    All those girls were my friends!!

    According to Shytalk, the turntable memories in the first post invalidates the whole of the original poster's thread, which in turn casts doubt on your memories. LOL!

    scouserdave is twisting words and repeating again, he might be a reincarnation of a previous member.

    Well I found it all absolutely rivetting old chaps.

    I trust that the culture Co. will be getting in touch with all the distict associations such as Garston, Wavertree, Kensignton etc so that they all have an imput next year.

    I liked the different stalls at St. Georges Hall history festival a couple of years ago, Lee Jones league of welldoers too who had great photo albums to look at but have since found old moving footage which should enhance this years.

    You'll credit the authors, of course?
    I don't mind my cinema articles being used, but I'd like the credit (and the blame!).

    Default Re Garston Memories!

    The writer of the original article does seem to 'wander' across a couple of different decades! but nevertheless I did enjoy the reading of it, and as 'Sweetpatootie' says I too remember all the names and places, and I do have a few old 'snaps' of the area, one of which was taken opposite the 'Dole' in Speke Rd, and shows the view up Horrocks Ave towards the Cenotaph, with the tramlines going up the centre of the duel carriageway, and certainly no 'Turntable'! as Scouserdave says, only trains used these!
    Liked your post too Kev! I lived in Highbank Drive before the school was built, and in fact I played soccer on that area, long before even the housing estate was built!
