Face from the past.

Who remembers flower seller Lizzie Christian.?

[burkhilly]

I remember seeing her when I was a kid. The reason I remember her so well is because she had a really old face but was tiny probably just a bit taller than me. What a character though.

[lindac8941]

Yes, I remember her as a kid, think she used to be around Clayton Square somewhere, she was a flower seller/ fruit and veg seller for about 60 years, she had 11 children and was one of 12 herself. She had a very hard life, which I think showed in her face.

Hi Linda,

I couldn't open your link, so I've managed to find a few more pictures of Lizzie.

Didnt she used to be outside of Central station at one time? I seem to recognise her from the late 50s and early 60s

That's where I remember her from! Another missed local character.

Irealise that I'm some months late, but I too, remember Lizzie from outside Central station, one of the last of the 'shawlies'?
