Alan Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 My God, you brought some memories back there Jeff. The Stork pub was my local when we lived in Billinge from 1967 to 1971. The pic of the Ruskin Drive cricket score-board building took me right back to the early 1950s when I was the Recs team score-keeper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_Jeff_Leo Posted December 23, 2021 Author Share Posted December 23, 2021 The Stork is all boarded up now Alan. Be careful not to park there though as if you miss the signs they will slap you with a charge if you do not pay a parking fee!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 How about the pub over the road? I think it was called the Eagle and Child. My late wife preferred it to The Stork Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Great stuff, Jeff. Those 1940s - early 1960s photos are the only St Helens that I recognise as I effectively left the town after Uni in 1963 to work in Penketh and then in 1967 moved to live in Billinge and then became a Cumbrian in 1971 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
