Went in the 60s with St.Teresa's juniors, Norris Green. I remember the red skeleton lights in the dorm room, the race to the top of Moel Fameu and the day out in Mold to shop for 'souvenirs' at the local Woolworths. If you've seen 'Our Day Out' you'll know!

I was born in the sixties in Everton. A slum clearance area. When you moved out to go to Cantril Farm, or Norris Green..lol, me and the mates went in the empty house and got all the goodies. The stuff people left behind would now be classed as valuable antiques. My mate got a Napoleonic sword, which we used to chop the heads off the newel posts ( round bit on the bannister). Great fun. Never got bored. Never had any money…just loved it. 😂😂

@@stormytempest6521 . So you were there as well, so much fun with little to no interference fron the adults. I think the main reason was, the copper that walked the streets was plucked straight from the military. So he had self discipline, and he'd been there done that. Not a chance of getting one over him as a cheeky nipper. Also all the men were in work, earning a wage that covered all of the running costs of a home. If mum went out to work, it was for pin money for emergencies and Christmas. Me and my brother would go to me nans for our tea after school then me grandad would walk us home at about 6 o'clock if it was the dark winter months.
