Harrowby Street?

[Liz w]

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!

Oh yes, and Harold Sunter and my Aunty Vera lived at number 27 Harrowby Street, gosh it could fit a lot of us in at holiday time! Sorry, its Tom "O" isn't it,

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?
