St John's School, between St John's Road and Brasenose Road in Bootle, suffered a direct hit in October 1940, during World War II. The school could not continue and many of the children were evacuated to mid-Wales and the Border Counties.
Cheers Joe.

Some fabulous old photographs here, Joe
The picture of Mersey View, hardly changed, shops now offices, Blackledges, now Hot Yoga, Post Office, now Twentymans Barbers..other than that, just the same
Picture of corner house (sign in garden) “Ladies Guild” told by an old neighbour that it was once an agency for female domestic servants..it’s now a family home, lovely old house, retains all the original features!!
South Road picture, love it..the Alex, wouldn’t go in it now, but once a lovely pub
Wish we still had Irwins, Pegrimms, Liggetts, Costigan's, Home and Colonial, and the old style Co-Op 102471
(How I still remember the divi number, I will never know )
Thanks Joe

Hi Henry, I can see the outside of it, and the inside where we hung up our coats, and frozen bottles of milk defrosting, I would love to see it again, you'd think there would be photos of it somewhere.henry wrote:That's the way I remember it with the infant school just around the corner on the left

I was born in 48 and went to St. Winnies. I remember the playground in the front, and the rought iron railings at the front. I remember the fire brigade having to grease a kids head, he had got it stuck between the railings, it happened quite often , we were told.
