Susan, Great to read your words, a great surprise. I remember you and your brothers, as well as your Mum and Dad very well. Loved the people of Oriel Road area growing up in the 50s/60s. Keep the faith! .Saturday girl wrote:Hi George, just discovered your post, who knows if you will read this. I worked for your mum and dad in the fruit shop as a Saturday girl. I remember you coming home on leave and your Alan too. You were all mad blues! I married one too. I have the best memories of your parents and Pedro the dog sitting in the van with your dad going to Edge Lane fruit market. I remember your dad and his pipe. Oriel Road was bustling with life then. I am a Wilson and have four brothers, we lived at 38. Your brother Paul, met his future wife at my brother's wedding in the Windham hotel. I remember all the families you mentioned. Your mum was a grafter and I laughed with her - not surprised she still worked at 86, my one regret is losing touch when I moved away from Bootle.

I remember Johnny Morrissey ex Everton and Liverpool player having a shop on Oriel Rd across from the station
Also Billy Ratcliffe had the kiosk at the corner of Oriel and Millers Bridge/Balliol Rd
I used to run past Billy's shop on my way to get the bus to school on Stanley Rd, whenever Everton lost as he would give me a ration of crap
My uncle Mick Summers lived on King's Rd nearby
Also old workmate Brian Turner lived nearby on Trinity Rd
