My wife worked at Tesco Bidston Moss from the day it opened till she died in 2001. Was trying to remember the managers name , but he was a naughty boy having "an affair" with one of the ofice staff and got posted to a store in Wales

The building in the background was Hemingford Street School.

And before that it was called Victory Kidder, my uncle was an engineer there

here some pics from the Grange topic in history
The vicar was Mr Howarth

and he used to wear big boots, he used to clonk past our house which was the caretakers house of the Welsh Chapel in The Woodlands, everyone called him a commie (communist)....no idea why.

hellwire; we haven't got a clue what you're talking about in your last few posts. Helpful if you quote the post you're referring to?

When i was a kid in about 1950 me and my mates used to go fishing at a place in PRENTON it was a field with 3 ponds in
It used to be called the three sisters, i think it was off a place called the mile end road
We spent many hours catching Jackies, Sticklebacks & newts,
anybody remember the place
No fares for buses then, we walked there & back from Charring
Cross it seemed miles away in them days

We used to walk there from Rock Ferry.

The three sisters ponds were situated opposite the old Woodchurch high school,From the Woodchurch you would walk along carr bridge road until you came to the cinder path then you would towards the railway line which was still steam powered then cross the railway bridge walk a couple of hundred yards you were then at the ponds.The Nocturum did for the ponds :-(

I remember the old CO-OP it was later turned into a "leos" superstore, and yes I think you could park on the roof.

What about the THERMOPLE PATHS it was just past BIDSTON HILL
as you go towards Ford hill There used to be a path on the
left hand side that took you there
I dont know how it got its name or if it had a Roman connection
Had many a good time playing there
Any one remember the place

Have a look here George

Had a discussion last night, over a pint of course, and the subject came up about the place opposite the Park Entrance, now a furniture shop.
I can remember the snooker hall on the first floor and there was a garage underneath it (a Ford dealership if I remember correctly). Anyway, I couldn't think of the name of the garage. A name of "Sherlock and A N Other" was put forward but I don't remember that as being the names. Anybody got a clue what it was called?

Dont know the name of the garage but i can remember the
name Georgie Sherlock he was an old mate of me dads
I can remember him dealing in cars i also remember
another guy who was mentioned Ian Robinson

Cheers George
