Although I was born in Hull, in 1949, I was raised in Wallasey. I worked on the Pier Head and Liverpool Docks in the mid 60s, at the time of Radio Caroline North, Swinging 60s and long hair! Although I have zero affiliations with the footballing side of the region, I do keep an eye out for Tranmere Rovers results each week as I lived nearby when I married my wife Sue and lived in Egerton Park, and then Bulwer Street, Rock Ferry. We left there, as a family, in 1981 to live and work in Germany. And, yes, I still have me accent! We now live in the Midlands but I still make trips up to Merseyside, in particular, the Wirral, three or four times per year on, as you will see, photographic missions. My three children are now all grown up and I have two marvellous grandson's, Rowan & Faelan. I hope you enjoy this nostalgic trip around the region, I know I have; and have made many new friends in the process. Genevieve on Bidston Hill, Ken Burnley, historian and many correspondents who send me images and information. Since 1974, the Wirral became part of Merseyside but people on the Wirral did not recognise this fact. Even now 34 years later, this is still prevalent. Great enjoyment was taken in more recent years, in a lot of quarters, when the Liverpool postcode was dropped and Wirral returned to a CH (Chester) postcode.
