    My father in law, William Hiley, used to be one of the three brothers who owned Ainsdale Laundry (where Millhouse Lodge is now) from at least the 1920's until the 1980's. I believe it was quite a big business at one time. No memories of it myself, although my other half has a few tales.

    My father's business was Briggs and Grimshaw in Wright Street, Southport for many years after taking it over from Mr Briggs, I think it was when he retired. It was a printing business that printed tickets and posters for the Little Theatre, general business stationery, wedding invitations, etc (to name but a few things) until my dad retired - but now is no longer there.

    I remember the late Mrs Wall,later on Mrs Kingsley, from Bradshaws Lane working at the Laundry.

    I remember Gilbert Hames, also Bill Sutton one of the finest joiners Southport ever had.

    A little further back!

    My great uncle Thomas E Griffin was living with a Southworth family in 1881 census. I lost track of him after that time. Does anybody know if he married a Southworth. He was a railway person at the time.

    Long ago, my ggg grandfather Richard Ball, brewer owned the Portland Brewery at 10 Portland St. I'd love more info/picture on this if anybody has any. The Brewery was torn down in 1888.

    My great grandfather was 'F Owen & son cheese factor' on Southport Market from 1916ish to 1946/7 ish, alongside my great grandmother who took over after his death in 1946. She went on to run a boarding house on Roe Lane sometime after his death.
    My grandfather bought Southport Meat Company/Corporation in the late 50's or early 60's after many years of his side of the family being farmers (pig & poultry) in the North Meols area

    Yes Nell, there were certainly steps up to the door of the laundry. The bus stop was at the bottom of those steps. When we lived in Limont Rd in the late 40s my mother used to take our bedding up those steps to be laundered. I also caught the bus many many times from that bus stop, both to school and into town, during those years.
    Just be yourself, no one else is better qualified!!

    "The object of the Boy's Brigade is the advancement of Christ's Kingdom among boys and the promotion of habits of obedience, reverence, discipline and self-respect, and all that tends towards a true Christian manliness" and Eddie Hodge was a living example of all that!

    Thank's for that Blowick, I'll make sure your comments are passed on to his son Brian and daughter Maureen.
    Do you think that's really wise?

    SOUTHWORTHS
    My father worked for Southworths as a young man (Tommy Barker of Longacre).
    I was at school with Maureen Southworth of the same family but they lived in Sefton St I think, between Scarisbrick New Road and Virginia St. She became a teacher but died shortly after she retired.

    Sorry, but Gil Hames was not in the RAF. He was a Royal Engineer. He was also heavily involved with the St John Ambulance in Southport. Did your fathers surname begin with a 'B'

    Cheers
