The Wharf was classy when it first opened. I took my mum and dad there for a meal.

Anyone have photos of Port Sunlight swimming baths? They were on the garden centre site but I don't know when they were demolished.

Thanks for that. I knew they weren't a figment of my imagination.

I served my time at McIvors from'76-80.I think they finally closed about five years ago (might be wrong on the time).The building is there but it's something else now . The whole area ha changed beyond recognition .

My school used to do its swimming lessons there in the mid 70s. Wondered where they'd gone but didn't make the connection with the garden centre til reading this.

I'm so old, I didn't even know there was a complex in Bromborough. Where is it?

I'm serious! Where is the complex in Bromborough? I'm pre 1960 Bromborough so only know what was there then.

One set owned a house called "Revelstoke" and used to rent rooms out. The other set lived directly opposite in a terrace house "no.20".

Sorry, what's the Bromborough reference about? The latest item in this thread is talking about Port Sunlight.

I was wondering that as well so went hunting. On page one there's a question about what was there before the complex in Brom.
