Love the 2nd picture of the Atlas, not seen that one before.
Yep, remember the Ribble bus station and the Throtle's Nest alleyway down the back of the Atlas that led to a cobbled street of terraced houses and the tunnel to the park. Remember the mural but only...
For all I know it could have been called Mimmo's and we've been calling in Nimmo's for years! Yep, remember the chandlers and the fruit and veg shop, seem to remember them selling a few other bits...
Only remember Abby from Cedardale Stores but remember him fondly. Remember a shop by the Rec called Youngs which was tiny and used to sell home made ice lollies for I think 1p !!
Remember the odd...
The ones in Maghull and Ormskirk have become Pound Bakeries too.
Going slightly off topic I guess but was sad to see the closure of Sayers on Tithebarn Street recently. Walking in there a few months back it was like stepping back in time as I don't think the cafe...
My nan used to work in the Cousins on Bold St in 70's and early 80's. Could have sold you the wedding cake! Don't suppose anybody has a photo of the store or the logo that was still on the wall up...
Rice Lane infants & juniors in Walton then on to Alsop Lower in County Rd then Alsop Upper on Queens Dr Walton.
Fond memories in both. Don't suppose any ex teachers are viewing this but I've...
Try again!!
Yep remember the money shoots now, and green shield stamps. Weird how all the big stores had little branches like Tesco on Rice Lane and Walton Vale plus Littlewoods on Rice Lane, then they all...
Went round Orrell Pk a few weeks back and park looked nice then do maybe they've not long re-done it.
There were railway workers cottages on the platform at Walton Junction. Were well kept in 70's but derelict by 80's I'd say. How do I post a photo here?

There are still some...
Oxo park is a little park surrounded by the terraced houses on Stalmine, Firdale and Willowdale Roads. Got it's knickname due to the shape of the lawns, not sure if it has a formal name. Used to be...
Don't remember them myself. Where exactly were they? May know someone who recalls them.
Yep, that was it. I do remember the pie in the fryer thing and it was common. From what I can remember they were a married couple and were there for a good few years. One of the last traditional...
Mrs Youngs was on Birchdale Road between Ashdale and Evered Ave. I remember she used to make ice lollies herself in plastic moulds with orange or cola and sell them for 2p I think. Just a little...
No idea. Think it was a house somewhere by the Everyman on the same side.
Had like a food hatch to the kitchen serving nice smelling food which I thought odd for a club. Very few White people in...
Anyone remember:
Openshaws chippy with coal fired range and newspaper wrapped fish and chips?
Abby from Cedardale Stores, top bloke, there for decades?
Tesco and Co-Op on Rice Lane?
The...
Not a timeslip as such but over the last ten years or so I have quite often passed a young lady walking around the city in victorian garb complete with shopping basket and shawl. Think she just...
Cool, so I wasn't too far gone to remember all the details then!! Appreciate the response, found the site browsing local history stuff and it's certainly brightened up my weekend. Cheers.
Thinking about it, maybe same place, different entrance.
Now you've got me wondering if there was a later version of mylo's as I'm pretty sure the one I used to go to was in the door to the mall at the base of the tower then in a door to the right kind of...
Never ever went to the state believe it or not.
Used to go into town on a Friday mainly. Weekdays were just local around Walton, queen Anne, vic, Alfred, black horse, warbreck, windsor, black bull...
Cheers for the info. Milo's was accessed via one of the malls in a doorway between two shops I think. Pic makes it look a bit different to how I remember, brighter and it wasn't often you saw someone...
Did my clubbing in the late 80's and remember:
Peppers in Walton
Images off Dale St
Bentleys on Brunswick St
The Swan (pub) on Wood St
Quadrant Park in Bootle
Mylo's rock club in St John's...
