my pics nowhere near as interesting as some on here as we didn't have a camera when I was a nipper. so I have to rely on photos from friends and family.

my late parents wedding day. Holy Spirit Church, Dovecot, 1959


my gt grandma, Wavertree Vale early 1930's?


moi-bless 1967


moi again...oh dear


my aunt and uncle on Ranelagh St. my cousin has no idea why this pic was taken, it looks like summat from a catalogue!

a few more

me and my late mum in Plumer St 1967.


my paternal grandad was in a concert party which often did shows at Wavertree Labour Club


these are apparently some of my Roberts family ancestors. this pic would more than likely have been taken in Edge Hill somewhere. possibly around Durning Rd/Botanic Rd area. no idea of date, I just think it's a wonderfully evocative photo.

1979 outside a friends house Methuen St...nice Beetle tho


ah I remember how I laughed at the mullet. completely forgetting this moment of madness

Great pictures everyone.


Quincy, I love that one of the Roberts family.

Also, the one taken in Ranelagh st - there must have been a photographer around there in those days because we have a similar picture of an uncle taken in the same way. I have seen other old photos taken on this road. The photographer must have snapped people at random then sold them the pics.

Excellent pics, make me smile

I had one of those shell suits and also went through a faze of wearing dungaries over them too

hmm that's interesting. I'll pass that info onto my cousin.

Check out my Berghaus jacket:

has your mate borrowed the matching trousers?! Hope your parents aren't Everton supporters! No wonder Newcastle are struggling if you're spending your time on here instead of training the team
