Mick ....nice to have some input from a Spekeite. Having lived in Speke for such a long period of time, you must have reams of memories to draw on. How about sharing some of those fond memories. Why not allow us to create a page for you on the Memories page section of the site. Of course the offer is open to all the people of Speke and ex Spekeites........let's hear from you all. It all helps to make the site more interesting.

Last Christmas,I played in a Veteran's Soccer Tournament in Waterloo, Canada and bumped into an ex Speke resident. We both lived in Speke from 1950 to 1960 before moving with our parents to Canada. So many memories flooded back but time has a way of dulling the details. We recalled living on Burnage Close and playing in Damwoods, walking down to a bridge where you could stand and watch the steam trains pass under you, walking to Hale Village for cut flowers and being told to be aware of the gypsies. The smell of tar to this day brings memories of moving into the new house. The women fighting over their kids ... asking around for a shilling for the gas meter but most of all the memory of a close knit community that shared tea bags, sugar and caring. Today, I tell my grandkids of my very special childhood ... thanks
