Eastham Dock

Greetings from Victoria BC, Canada. I am doing research on my Father- in-law's war diary and I write you seeking information. According to his diary my Father-in-law shipped overseas from the Eastham Merseyside England in October of 1943. Would you have any information or could suggest any place where I might be able to gather information about this area in this time period. Pictures, news paper clipping or things of that kind would be most interesting.

Thank you in advance for any assistance you may be able to give me in my research. John.

Carson Street or St Tudno View

To Liverpool History Society

I'm using this email as my browser can't find your website today. Please pass my enquiry to the right person.

What is known about St Tudno View, off Everton Terrace? It appears in the  1871-1891 censuses, but not by name in 1901. I've seen a 1930s map which shows the area between Netherfield Road South and Everton Terrace turned  into a recreation ground.

I'd be interested if there are any known directory entries or photographs of either Carson Street or St Tudno View, but I get the impression that they had both become slums by the 1890s.

Many thanks

Everton Brow with the lock up

Hi,

I was looking at your history site and came across  a picture of Everton Brow with the lock up.

The reason I  was browsing through your site was because years ago I purchased an original water colour by an artist I think is called F.Beattie. It was such a fascinating study of early victorian antiquity that I wanted to know more about where and when it was painted.

I purchased the painting in Plymouth Devon, which is where I live, for the frame to use on another picture as the painting is faded and in poor condition. However I became fascinated with the picture as it  was so  old and being original , I had to  know more.

It is of the place you call Brow side and depicts  the little building I now know is called the lock up and Mrs Coopers Toffee shop in a row of 15th century cottages,.

I have found out about the toffee shop and it's connections to your Everton Football Club etc. This is how I traced your site.

I have enclosed a couple of digital images for your interest but I want to know more about the artist.

I love the mix of industrial Revolution England with the remenants of 15th to early 19th century life. All in one picture.

Enjoy

McDonough's General Store, Ainsworth Street, Liverpool

Hello,

I don't know whether you can help me or point me in the right direction.  I am looking for any information with regards to the general store that was located in Ainsworth Street, Liverpool during the 50's and 60's.  I believe it was run by the McDonough family. Daniel & Margaret (Mary).

Ideally I would like a photograph of the shop.

Kind Regards

Liverpool Dance Hall resource

Is there a source where I might find information of liverpool dance halls in the 40's during the war... bands that might have played there and movie theaters... I'm trying to write a romance novel and can't seem to find any info on what lovers did in the 40's during the war.

Thanks Britt
