Memory:Hi I remember as a child moving into my nan makins old house at NO 25 Back Roscommon Street. As they moved into the new maisonettes at the top of the street, 16 Cavour House. We used to live with my other nan in Elias Street but i do not remember her name or the house No. I used to go to get a tube or something from the shop, formthe radio and 20 Woodbines for my grandad William Samuel Makin. I also remember when the wall fell off the front of the block called Mazzini House. And a bloke called Evans i think who lived on the same landing as my nan ran across and pulled some people to safety this was in the early sixties.

Maiden Name:edwards
Street Name:edinburgh street Street Number:87

Memory:Look forward to reading Lost Tribes in the Liverpool Echo. The item about making ends meet until the next pay day was in many instances tricksters preying on the gullible. In the 1930's I recall a neighbor would ask my mother each week on a Tuesday for the loan of a shilling and would pay it back on the Sunday. I recall pleading with my mother not to do so as the shilling had passed out of her ownership (she was not able to use it herself having to keep it ready for being "borrowed"). I wonder how many other gullible people were relieved of their money by this trick

Memory:For Chris Powell many thanks for your comments which most appreciated . My parents moved from Priory Street to the new Gleave Square maisonettes in 1972 - now demolished . ( my Father went to Steers street school in 1930s ) I frequently thought of Gordon /family when I passed where Cresswell street was . Gordon , Sid Shakeshaft , many others and myself were all in the same year / Class at Heyworth Street Primary School . Unfortunately I believe Sid had a third heart attack in November 2011 . On Kens LTE website / left side you can click on MAPS . There you will find all the old Everton streets . I ams sure Ken will announce the next LTE re-union gathering to all in due course . Many thanks and kind regards to all alanbruce@hotmail.com Man. Sat. 18 February 2012 From: Powell, Chris Street Name:Cresswell Street Street Number:3 Memory:For Alan Bruce. Just spoken to Gordon and passed your message on. He sends his best and is now tryinging to figure out exactley where Priory Street was. He isn't into computers so can't come back to you himself. He remembers Sid Shakeshaft and was sorry to hear of his death. I will keep him updated re what is going on with comments from people he may have known. I didn't know of the re-union as don't live in Merseyside anylonger. Occasionally visit to see family or shop! but would have loved to have been there. If there is ever another one I will be there plus make sure Gordon and Ann are with me. Take Care. Chris
