Heathy
Hi Brian D,
Yes great memories of Heathy And Springwood in the forties our
headmaster was Pop Little and he used to take all the sports,especialy
swimming which I was best at,he used to take us to the Mather Ave,
Police baths and when walking back to school, he would stop outside the
shops, and say those with dinner money can fall out. There was a mad
dash into Blackledges for a twopence three farthing crusty viener loaf, then
into Costigans for a slice of marg which they had already cut up into thin
slices even though it was rationed, and into Haswells for stickylice then we
would walk back to school pulling the centre out for the birds so that we
could drop marg to the bottom and squeeze it all the way back up to the
top, and eat it on the way back. In the forties there was know chippy
I'm sorry to say,I left Heathy in 1947.
Cheer's,
Tippo.
PS. was the plane still
in the corner of the field.
QUOTE=brian daley;163464]Haswells,the sweetshop that stood at the corner of Heath Road and Mather Avenue,twas there in the '50's that Reggie Owen,Billy Dawber,Joey Lewis and me would get our chocolate cigars to augment our vienna loaves stuffed with hot chips and retire to the grass verge beneath the trees that led up to Woolton. Under the boughs we would talk of of sailing ships,sealing wax and cabbages and kings. Haswells was our sweet heaven, and many a boy from Gilmour Heath Road Secondary Modern chose to spend his dinner money there than in the purchase of a ticket for a school dinner. A shilling in those long ago days. I had forgotten the name of that wonderful shop until I saw that posting tonight.
