    Cool picture! Do you know where and when it was taken? If it wasn't too long ago, the lad in the red and blue jumper doesn't half look like me!

    Default Codmans Punch & Judy Show

    This pic taken around 1950 was from a old 'Echo's of Yesterday' I have posted this years ago on Yo, but dug it out again for those who may be interested. Cheers All,

    Yes like gynsman, ( he must be as old as me ) I remember it being in Williamsons Square, and also on the corner of St Georges Hall, cant quite remember which was first? We as kids loved seeing it, my last visit about 3 years ago, we saw it in Llandudno when visiting, back home ( always call Liverpool home ) and I was so pleased to see the kids still where amused by it and their imagination was still being used , as did ours all those years ago , before all of this technology stuff( game boys , etc) a bit of old fashioned entertainment, cant beat it . Cheers Keith.

    It was in Williamson square,,by the M.P.T.E office/shop. It was taken sometime in the early 80's.( I think?) Thought you looked familiar

    Haha, Cheers! I have a feeling it wasn't me though! I was only born in '85!
