    My Mother was born right facing that clock on the Dock Road . There was a pub i think it was anyway , at the corner of Blackstock or Blackstone street , they lived in one room above it until she fourteen years old . Imagine if we had to live like that now ?

    Remember it ?...I was never out of there, it was called The Regent originally, a friend of my family had it, an Irish lad named Joe O'Driscoll... he was my my uncles mate, my uncle was an Irishman who had his own civil engineering firm..at one time every Irishman man in Liverpool who did the navvying road digging must have worked for him...he gave the lads from the Gerard Gardens area jobs...a few worked for him driving his wagons.... something I've never ever mentioned before about my uncle giving work to the lads around Scottie Rd...

    Anyway...Joe O'Driscolls Regent.... his son Gerard was my mate, we both worked for my Uncle Tim and knocked about together, we'd have to wait at 7 O'Clock in the morning outside Ann Bells pub on Islington with about 50 Irishmen every morning on 'The Stand'...if you were lucky you got picked for a days work....Uncle Tim would just point at you and give you the nod.... Gerard is now a school Teacher in a well known Liverpool girls college....
    I was in the Regent a lot with my mate Gerard when he lived there..
    funny, I lived in a pub myself at the time...The Pontack outside Gerard Gardens..
    My Mam had that for about 20 years.....

    It is a small world pennylane... Isn't it ?

    My dad will know him no doubt . My Mum was a Hughes , when she married my dad her name became Bridget Jones it caused a riot when we'd go for her hospital appointments . I remember my dad saying he would stand and wait for work at Howsons , i might have the name wrong . My mum would have been 71 now , my dad is 75 but still manages to get to the Crown on Scottie every Monday with his 'mates' , he gets out more than me . A few months back he was in the Mosquito bar !!!!!! For some reason though , my mum was always called Delia , when she died i asked my aunties why this was , i got the usual answer from them '' i don't know it was something to do with being Irish'' ??

    I don't think , in fact i know that i don't have English blood ! Both sides are were Irish . Then again i suppose being born here makes me English .
    Teresa Reardon , i have heard that name before . My Nana was Annie Farrelly although they were always called Farley . I remember my mums best friend was Bellsy Grant and Brenda Mc Adam . She told me some stories about that dock road .. Getting smaller all the time haha .......
    God i'll get murdered , the aunties will say '' have you been being hard faced to Gerard Fleming ???

    They were a big family the Reardons, they were from Shadwell St pennylane, right outside St Augustines..


    Ha haaaaaa... I'm just imagining all your aunties having a go at you...
    tell them I said.. "Eh.. leave her alone".....


    I bet your aunties know everybody in this book..
    Teresa does... its a great book..
