Brian,
Only just found this thread - but read it beginning to end. What a powerful memory you have - you're about 8 years older than me but a **** sight sharper mentally.

Lots of chords struck for me.
When we moved from Speke in 1961 we moved to Allerton, just by Gilmour school you went to. I went to Blessed John Almonds and many of my classmates came from the tennies you lived in.
Also have memories of Stanley Park as my uncle lived right by it and we used to visit.

Alexandra Rd in Llandudno stikes yet another chord as my wife stayed there on holiday pretty much throughout her childhood.



Also joined the Merchant Navy and also ended up in the midlands - near Wolverhampton.

Keep 'em coming!

Kevin
