Harrowby Street?

[Alan Smithee]

Anyone remember Harrowby Street? It's no longer there but it used to run off Granby Street.

I lived there in the mid to late 60's as a kid, just wonder if anyone else remembers it...?

[Alan Smithee]

Ahhh...that's interesting. It is still there, sort of. It's now a Close instead of a Street.

When I lived there it used to run from Granby Street to Kingsley Road.

I remember the street. Did you go to Granby st school by any chance ?

[Alan Smithee]

I...probably did. Can't really remember much about the school, it was a very long time ago.

I do however have vivid memories of a cinema in Granby Street, can't remember what it was called.

Our resident cinema expert Philip will tell you. He may log-in today.

I can remember going there twice.

My very first visit when I was a nipper was to watch a cartoon show. I got threepence off my mum and went in with my sister. I sat at the front, and they used to change the colours of the lights shining onto the curtains, and for some reason this frightened me and I started crying. I eventually got my money back and bought some sweets instead.

Second visit I went with my mum in the evening, and sat upstairs in the balcony. For years I could never remember what the name of the film was we saw, I just had a recolection of a guy sitting on a barge on a canal, and he threw his sandwiches overboard because they tasted horrible, same with the flask of tea. Years later I was watching The Bargee, a sixties comedy with Harry H Corbett, and lo and behold there was that scene.

Harrowby Street followed by Northbrook Street followed by Rosebury Street then Eversley Street. The school in Kingsley Road was St. Bernards and this was a R.C. School and Granby Street was a Liverpool Council School. The Cinema was called the Princes and was next door to Granby Street School. Ah Ah the memories of me delivering newspapers to all those streets - the papers were collected at the top of Upper parliament Street and the first street to be delivered to was Cadogan Street off Upper Parliament and situated just past Kingsley Road, after you had walked down Upper Parly passed Unity Boys Club and Crown Coachways (that should bring some memories back) Whittakers grocers store on the corner of Maynard Street and the Clock Pub in Kingsley Road. This would be about 1953.

My Uncle Harold Sunter was the main man at Sunter's Dairy In Selborne Street. I used to help on his milk run in all the school holidays and sometimes muck out the shippen - might have bumped into you Tommo! Some of the happiest days of my young life late 50s, early 60s. I remember Uncle Harold saying the only time he ever cried in all his life was when he finally got rid of the last of his cows. And there was old Wilf by the fire with his big walrus moustache saying "Michael, with 'is shovel an 'is pykle" when we came back for the next load of crates to put in Uncle's green Morris Minor open-back van, and I had to laugh every time because he thought it was right funny! And I used to spend my earnings crossing over to wander the Birkenhead Docks every afternoon and buy shipping books at the Pier Head. He got me a few days on a tug boat too - the Foylemore. Wonderful times even if I did get a hiding from some Selborne Street lads one time, because I was a Brummy!

Happy days indeed Mick, left the area mid '50's to go seafaring for 43 years,mucked out in the shippen,watched the cows calfing,helped with the pasturising etc', loved taking the cows to pasture in Woolton. Ah fond memories of Wilf,Harold,Vera and your cousin with the ginger curly hair.
Their relly's lived at the bottom of our street(Northbrook) think they were the Harrisons ?

Loved them jaunts along the Dock Rd, skipping L'ers and relieving the peanut wagons of some of their load.

Take care arr kid

Hi Mick

Really enjoyed your post, my grandad was John 'Jack' Sunter, Harold's brother. I have so many photographs and cattle prize certificates from the dairy, I even have the clippers they used to cut the cows nails with. I would love to learn more about my family. Was Wilf married to Alice? and what relation was he to my great Uncle Harold. Do you remember my grandma Flo 'Betty' Sunter and was my dad John your cousin?
