Forums Forums Wirral History : Chasing the Past History Information Request Hoylake station

Hi does anybody have any pics of the old butty bar by hoylake station?

didnt realise it had ogne is it the one that was still there in 2000 last time i went there.

Yes its still there but somebody told me they have seen an old pic of it with men in RAF uniform outside it during the war. Would like to get a pic if I can.

Do you mean this one?

Yes thats the one

But wanted to know if anybody had some old pictures of it.

Its just a shed. Surely its not been there very long. I don't remember it being there when the land was owned by Finnegans restaurant in the 80s. The car park area it sits on the corner of was just gravel if I remember rightly. It was used as a play area for mini electric quad bikes for the kids. you had to put 10p in the slot on the side to have a go. One of them was annoyingly faster than the other.
I was however very young at the time so it is possible that the joy of playing on the battery powered bikes was enough to make me not notice the Cafe sitting there in the corner.

Sorry that was probably no use to you at all.
