Hope you can help! Family from Wales and some coming over from Australia next year wanting to visit Bootle and surrounding area to see where our Grandmother was born. Her father had a ship mending business in the Docks and they lived on Oriel Rd and Worcester road up until 1922. We would ideally like someone with local knowledge to show us the area and history. Any suggestions?

It sounds as though she would like someone to show them round in person. I am sure there must be someone still living in Bootle that wouldn't mind doing this. Any Offers?
