Great pics Dave :PDT_Aliboronz_24:
For those not from Garston, 'under the bridge' is a part of Garston down under the railway bridge down by the docks.
There are a number of people on the site from 'under the bridge', what are your earliest memories, what things do you remember about UTB, Do you know any good sites/photos of Garston 1900+ ?
I remember being taken by my dad with my brothers to the barbers just down the alley under the bridge on Banks Road, he was always called 'the pole', I thought for years it was because he had a barbers pole outside, it was years later that I found out that he was called that because he was polish.

My memories of Under The Bridge, being in my very early 30's and a child of the late 70's early 80's, it has to be Window Lane, the docks and playing around on what I thought was a footy pitch, which I know was not. Using Bankfield House too for recreational activities. The Cinder Path comes to mind again.
I lived in Garston a couple of years back (Moss Street, of St Mary's Rd) and went for a walk to Speke Retail Park, via GUTB. I can't remember what the road is called, but when you go under the flyover from St Marys it curls around past the church by the gas cylinder and past a school, all the way to a new estate near the old airport(a couple of Brookside-esque streets). I think we came out next to the old fire station and walked to Borders Was a fascinating walk. Also applied at the housing association but was told GUTB residents had priority (fair enough) as the entire estate was being levelled.
Thanks for the replies so far, Bunnyman you walked along Banks Road down to old fire station.
My GF lived on that road in the mid 60s.
Cheers. What's that area like generally? Old Garston was a desolate hole in parts (with enormous potential, mind), but I felt uneasy on that walk. There were quite a few muggers' alleys from what I remember and I walked through with my keys wrapped around my knuckles (In my pockets. Did the same when living in downtown Bootle). Not to say it's a bad area, but it wasn't the most inviting. Is that where the Birdman came down? :confused:
Drove past today, the Garston Hotel was almost gone! Any pics folks? There was a fire last night according to reports.
"Another one of my memories gone"!! I used to stop and have a quick beer there, on my way up to see a movie at the Lyceum!Quote:
