Remember the old Toll cottage outside the Convent, my mum worked in the Convent as a dinner lady, remember going to pick her up with my dad. And they tested the air raid syren every week i think!!

I remember Bert very well. When i was a young lad used to go to the market and always had to visit him.. Always made funny jokes and made me laugh.. A very kind soul.. Always give me free Apples and Bananas.. It was always a pleasure to say hello.. Always a pleasure to walk past him and listen to his antics.. Quote from bert as i remember it as yesterday.. "Come on, come on,, Fresh bananas 1 Pound A Bunch" "Apples 80pence a Bag" "Hey how are you" Alwats cheery, always happy and great with the old ladies.. Very s very sad to here of his death like this.. I read on Liverpool Echo over in Australia and im still shocked.. Regards and Love got to you Mike58 we have lost a very kind soul.. in the most horriblest of ways.. May your family and friends have the spirtual healing during this time. Love and Light.. Rest In Peace Bert.. From your friend Lee..

Liptons is now a gym, ethel austins has closed down....

upton village became a ghost town for the ordinary shopper when Sainsburys was built....Malley's and bridgers newsagents still plod on...even the butchers are still giving it a go but most outlets are now chip shops or restaurants with a couple of bookies inbetween

As the shops change the area changes, no more traditional shops, instead we have bookies attracting low lives, crappy fast food outlets and large ugly asda type supermarkets.
This people results in poor areas and houseprices plummiting.
Every little helps? yeah right!
