Does anyone have memories of the Brockhouse Engineering (Southport) Ltd factory at Crossens during the early post-war years when the Corgi scooter and Indian brave motorcycle were manufactured.

Another SGB member, Sue Ellen, sent me this picture she found of the staff at Railex. I worked there from 1962 to around 1968. Not sure when this picture would have been taken, but it was taken at Cross Street and I am on it (hiding as usual!). Does anyone recognise anybody on the picture?

This private school was located in Trafalgar Road I believe. Does anybody know the years it was in operation as a school and also whether the building is still there? I attach an old photo of it - looks a fine building. My great-grandma was a pupil in the 1880s I think. Thanks! Dave

I was very sad to read in the Midweek Visiter that Kevin has died. Of late he lived in Florida . In the 1960's he played in the group the Teenbeats at the local (Southport) church dances and other venues. I danced the night away many a time, with my pal Myrtle. I remember going to the Floral...

This school photo of the pupils of St Luke's School Jubilee Rd Formby in about 1936 has been donated to the Formby Civic Society by Hazel Wolfe. Her brother Arthur is on the back row 2nd left. Hazel's parents moved to Formby in 1934 and ran the newsagents in Queens Road. A few of her memories...

Does anyone remember Mr Smith, a teacher at Linaker St Jnr school way back in the mid 1970's? If you had him as a teacher, you'd remember him :)

From the mid 1980’s Gordon Roberts began recording the prehistoric imprints appearing in the mud along the foreshore at Formby. This turned out to last for over a quarter of a century and has extended the history of Formby back from the supposed Viking origins to at least the seventh millennium BC...

Pictured below is the old 'Moulin Rouge' Ainsdale, now the Toby Inn. Any memories?

Can anyone put any names to this photo? It was taken somewhere around 1952/53

Anyone remember General & Sports motorcycles. It was down Hill Street. The showroom was on a parade of shops that stood where Sainsburys car park is now and the workshop was opposite Rimmers Garage where the lawnmower shop is now. It was a Suzuki main agent. I was there in 1980/81 when the X7 had...

From the Southport Visiter Tuesday Jan 8th 1952 Southport has finally lost one of it's railway stations. During it's 68 years of existence, Lord St Station has acted as a gateway to Southport for hundreds of thousands of visitors. But the last ticket has been collected, and the gateway is closed...

Hi there I'm not from Southport but have been doing some research into a side of my family who lived there. On the 1901 census, one of them, at that point a fairly old man, was a boarder at Limes Hydro at 51-53 Bath Street. I'm just curious as to what Limes Hydro actually was and if it's still...

I hope I get this right, it's my first time!!!

While sorting through "stuff" gathering dust in the loft I found...

I have posted these recent pictures of the school on Friends Reunited. The school closed many years ago, however I had a contact from a member the other day who thinks this is the wrong house as she thought the school building was a lot older. I am certain I have the correct building. The full...
