Stanley Road map

[w4rdy]

I dont know if you have this map but it may be of interest to someone . I got it from the library in Liverpool.
My great grandad William Eley Ward is listed in the trade directories 1936-41 as a fried fish dealer (chippy) ,333 Stanley Road and I believe he lived there through the Blitz
He had a chippy called Ward's Supper Bar ,do not know when he finished working...anyone remember the chippy or has any pictures of the area at the time.
I think 333 Stanley Road is now part of the site on the Strand Shopping center

Welcome w4rdy
his shop is under the triad
i looked for him in 1949 but the only
W,E.WARD lived in hoylake
the shop was about 6 along from the langton pub
in 1949 it was a Lennards boot and shoe shop


the shop was on the leftbehind the tram

thanks BOBHAMO for reply and photo.
I am led to believe they moved sometime after the war to Aigburth,(dont know exactly when)...and I dont know anything about Hoylake!
He must have retired after the war because he was born in 1880 and in 1949 ,when it was a Lennards boot and shoe shop ,he would have been 69.

Youve got a great forum here with lots of info.

Hi....Bob..Henry andW4rdy....Its possible I'm getting confused....not difficult these days...but
some where at the back of my mind I think there wzs a chip /fish shop between
Hornby Road and Marsh Lane right side going to Liverpool...now I know your looking
on the other side and further along but thought there may be some error with the address

hi gang, if memory serves me right there was a chines restaurant between Hornby road and marsh lane ( back in the early 60s ). regards billy.

[fatboyjoe90]

Billy, I remember it, it was opposite Joseph Parrs but can’t remember the name of it.Does Ying Wah ring a bell?

[henry]

Billy, I remember it but can’t remember the name of it.

Does Ying Wah ring a bell

I think it was The Great Wall but not sure

[fatboyjoe90]

Henry the great wall was by the Pacific, in the gents they had a big primrose bath that we peed in.

[henry]

do you remember someone getting thrown out of the top window and it was Ying Wahs

[fatboyjoe90]

Thanks for that Henry, how did you find out the name of it
I remember the rumours about that but don't remember any names of who it was. I also remember being in a brawl in there one Saturday night, until we saw 5 or 6 Chinese cooks running at us with meat cleavers in their hands, we just legged it that's how I remembered the name of it.

[henry]

A old fella I know told me it was that name and he told me the fella who was thrown from above the restaurant was were the owners lived and was a result of gambling up there
