Apparently in the 1950s, it was common for the "Teddy Boy" gangs from Speke to go to Garston for a punch up with the Garston Teddy Boys. Same was true for those from the Dingle who also used to come to Garston for a punch up with the Garston "Teddy Boys". Nothing's new it seems.

Yes Taffy, even in the 80's there were Speke Heads and Garston Heads. Garstonians would never venture into Speke and vice versa I assume. Graffiti would pop up on occasion, when a cheeky Speke 'ead would write '[name] from Speke was here' on a Garston building! Oh, shock horror! How very dare they!
Facade of 31 Cheapside. Anybody know what this was. It looks like a pub to me only it looks too small
