    Hello Kev

    Looks pretty crumby too me since it doesn't accord with the orginal look of the building. I think it should be restored to look the way it did originally.

    Until recently there were plans [I thought they were a certainty] to fully restore the gardens as part of the regeneration of the site. Unfortunately residents near by took it upon themselves to object for some strange reason Very selfish I thought.

    Default Speke & Garston Gangs in the 1950s

    Driving through Speke is the same unfortunately. I know there are plenty of lovely people who live in Speke but the gangs
    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!

    S McCain & Co., provision merchants in the 1936 directory.
    Is that supposed to be the head of a bull - perhaps it was a butchers or a pub called the .... Head?

    I'll check some older directories next time I'm in the library.
    It's a wonderful survivor.
