No Joe, we're talking about St John and St James church in Monfa Road, Orrell, where my mum and dad were married and I was christened. Not Bootle cathedral. :D

Do you mind me nicking this photo Ged?

I can't see another church on that photo, mind, you I can only see out of one eye but that's another story. :wink:
Joe, the direction of the background would not have shown Walton prison. JJC.

Great picture, I would say that is from the late 40s or early 50s.

Stanley Road, Bootle the white building on the right is the Pitch Pine, in the background. I can't remember the name of the Pub on the left, on the corner of Celia Street and Stanley Road? :wink: :D

I left Exeter Road about 1970! :shock: Moved to the back of the New Strand so not too far away but didn't go back along Stanley Road after that.
