Famous Toxteth and Edge Hill People

Frankie was indeed a great man.
And rather dishy, too!

"These Dangerous Years" (1957) starred Frankie Vaughan.
It was produced by Anna Neagle, but she didn't appear in it.
Frankie's character was one of "The Dingle Boys" gang, and it was shot on location and included scenes of the caves at Knott's Hole.
Unfortunately no longer with us.

Our own Gerard will probably be able to sell you a copy.

BTW, "The Heart of a Man" by Frankie Vaughan is still one of my all-time favourite songs, but I'm not sure if that was the title of the film it came from.

I was living in King Gardens at the time and was 10. They rounded up a lot of kids and took us up to the Cassey, as extras. We had a brilliant day out and all got half-a-crown.

Frankie then went on to put a cage over York House, so we could play footy on the roof. Hogan kid Bassey came down and opened it for us. Another true gentleman.

As far as I know he was from the Kempston st area, off Moss st.
