This book is a warm, nostalgic account of a boy's experience of growing up in the working class streets of the Marsh Lane area of Bootle Merseyside. There is a detailed description of the houses, streets, the local and wider environment of the Liverpool area and the opportunities this offered to imaginative young people. Chapters cover the events and traditions, like May Day and Bonfire Night, which marked the passing year and the importance that the Church, school and football played in our lives - although not necessarily in that order! Other parts of the book deal with: the Boy Scout movement; days out and annual holidays, including the Isle of Man and Butlin's; entertainment, including the wireless, television and cinema; relocation to Netherton; teenage culture and summer holiday jobs.
With its evocative, affectionate recall of those times past this book will appeal to anyone with a connection to Bootle and Merseyside, to those with an interest in working class social history and to members of the generation who grew up in the
exciting and challenging times of the 50s and 60s.
