Sefton Church



Before the Grand National there was the Maghull Races

Bonesy, when was the photo of the bus station taken. We used to go to Scotland every school summer holiday and it was the overnight bus from there to Glasgow that we used to get. We were always there very early so we could get the front seat.

Not to sure Lynne, but looks 60s/70s to me Irene H would more than likely know.

Great photo Keith have saved
Dorothy i had the one of the worst jobs
when the sefton site started
this might interest Keith as well
the bad winter 64 i had the misfortune of being sent to the sefton site
only a skinny lad
was told to report to the site forman he said there was a bit of priming to do
then that was 2 coats of shellack knotting on the knots and then pink primer
he gave me some wellies as it was a muddy place
i have never seen so much timber in my life
it was so cold it nearly killed me i lasted about 3 days and went sick
my dad who was a mate of the painting forman did me a favour
and got me of the site
later on i did a lot of work on the site
but got away on the saturday to buckley hill to play football
and then run back to book off
