My nephew used to play for Cables , my daughter works there and I am having my wedding reception there in the function room. ha ha.
I lived in Prescot from 1977 to 1992 and was there earlier on today shopping.
Nice one Linda.
Anyone got any pic's of the church/cemetery? (sorry,not sure of it's name!!!)
Unfortunately, Prescot town centre is not thriving due to the fact that Prescot Retail Park has taken business away from the small shops there. Wheras Huyton town centre which has a big Asda seems to have increased their trade and small shops do not seem to have been affected by the super store.
