"I grew up in Penketh. I remember playing in the remains of the Isolation Hospital
on the edge of Bold Park in Sankey. We called it the 'Iso' and it was full of lupins
and rhodedendrons."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I was born in a terraced house in Battersby Lane. I remember as a child walking
to watch the widening of the road bridge near Bank Quay Station and all the
windows on Parker Street shaking when they blasted the old sections. I heard it
from 2 miles away."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I was born in a terraced house in Marston Street, opposite the Dallam coal
sidings, all of which have been demolished. We were rehoused and I went to
Heathside School which has also been demolished and then Bewsey School.
I worshipped and was married at St. Paul's Church, Bewsey Road which was
knocked down and made into houses so these places are no more, but live on
in my memory."

"My early memories are of 1939-40 of the house I was brought up in. It was called
'Mersey Mount' off Mersey Street, Warrington, it was an old mansion divided into
6 or 7 homes. I would like to know if anyone else remembers this mansion. I can
recall it as if it were yesterday."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Memories (happy) of Stockton Heath, Dingle, Lumb Brook valley, walking with
my family in the Spring, all the bluebells and rolling painted boiled eggs down
grassy slopes at Easter."
