Hi Thank you ,,!, Watching this overview took me back to when I was a child of 6, I lived in Old Swa at the time, to cut to the chase with my mum & aunts Walk via the Rock junction down Rocky Lane through to Childwall Vally Road upto Childwall Abbey church. We then used to go to Jacksons Farm (during various seasons) ! Picking i,e, Potatoes, Carrotts, etc. To earn money for doing so During Hay making time we had lots of fun 😊😊

Hi John, my name is Dave Fletcher, I am a good old friend of 50 years + of Graham Seaman, both of us went to Gateacre comp at the same time as we are both the same age, we also both lived in Childwall heights he was on the third floor and I was on the forth floor. we lost touch in the early 80's when I moved to Bentham drive just up road from the flats, I have recently met up with him on the telephone and had a long chat. The question that I would like to ask yourself is my house is number 40 Bentham drive and I have heard many stories about a large land mine dropped during the war not far from my house destroying some of the adjacent houses and also sadly killing the man who lived in my house at the time, apparently he was an ARP warden and the blast from the mine blew him off the ground and the peak of his helmet got wedged in the brickwork on my house between the front door and the upstairs front window causing him to hang on the strap of the helmet. A very sad story but this is what one of my old lady neighbors told me reluctantly about 20 years ago sadly she has also now passed away so I wondered if you could possibly shed any light on the sad incident because at the time she was quite reluctant to tell me too much in case it upset me as I was living in the house and still do. Regards Dave Fletcher.

Was a girl from Childwall Valley High School murdered and her body was found in Jackson's farm pond? My Dad remembers the anti jewish riots around the triangle area (and other areas) after the King David Hotel bombing and the 'Seargeant's Affair.' Great video, thank you.

Very interesting ... I am from Wellgreen Road on The Childwall Valley Housing Estate, opposite the (now gone Coronation Pub) Now Lidl. Do you have any pictures pre-post 1962 ?
