Phyll Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 (edited) Yes, I know that one well, on the right is the Convent connected to Lowe House, where the Nuns lived who taught me at Lowe House School. My Mum & her family knew all the Nuns very well going back years, in fact I still have some lovely letters they sent to my Mum when her Mum & Dad had died back in the 40s/50s. The building on the left was a shop I used to go in every day for sweets etc., run or owned by Mr. Joe Dennett, a lovely kind man, who besides running the shop was a Caretaker at Lowe House School & also the Lollipop Man. He was a very busy man! Edited April 10 by Phyll 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boblyn Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Great old photo of the Town Hall, Gamble Institute, St Helens original Central Station, Sefton Arms, The Gas Showrooms - oh memories added 43 minutes later The market picture is another memory with the 'hotties' at the back steaming away. I bet that the big van on the front left foreground was 'Daves' van, he always had a crowd around him and it was the same when the whole market was moved across the road to the space at the bottom down the side of the Savoy and the indoor market and between Chanlon Way and the road where 'Burgess Bros' had a store. Many a Saturday I went down there to help out on the stalls to earn a bit of cash - ten bob went a long way then. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
