Friday Photo: A Big Lunch
July 23, 2010 · 4 Comments
Hoylake residents seem to have taken to the Big Lunch (official site) event and several lunches were held last Sunday despite the not-brilliant weather …though thankfully the really heavy rain held off until earlier this week. From what I’ve heard it sounds as though even more Big Lunches will take place next year. Caroline England kindly sent in the above photo, taken in Lake Road and writes: The Lake Road Big Lunch was a big success. Residents from Strand, Marmion and Government Road were also invited along to the party. With a turn out of over 70 people, The Lake Road Ladies hope... [Read the full story]

Dr Browne of Hoylake
July 28, 2010 · 2 Comments
Many thanks to Ian Powers who captured the above row of big terraced houses that once stood on Market Street, to the left of St Lukes Church and now a large apartment block. Ian writes: I photographed the ends of the block in 1999. I think it has now been demolished! In the left hand hous was the Dentist’s surgery. (I think it was Kenworthy?). In the right hand house which I believe was No.19 lived Dr Browne. He was my mother’s GP. By co-incidence, my mother spent the last years of her life there when the whole block was converted into to an old folk’s home. I researched... [Read the full story]

Midweek Money Savers: 21st July
Just the one item in this weeks edition of Midweek Money Savers for you and it’s for DVD rentals. A few years ago we used to go to the video rental shop on the corner of Market Street & Lee Road …where Booze Busters is now. It was okay but the popular films were always out and it was always a bit of a panic to get the film back in time... [Read more of this review]
Five Bed Semi-detached Just £7,500
Fancy a 5 bed semi-detatched with large garden in an attractive road in Meols for under £8,000? Me too! But unfortunately we’d need to travel back in time …back to 1970 in fact, when the above advert was published in a local newspaper. Many thanks to Dave Cowderoy for sending me the above press cutting. Interesting to see the asking prices... [Read more of this review]

Model Weekend – 17th-18th July This weekend a Model Extravaganza is taking place at Hoylake Community Centre. Here’s some of things to see: Hornby Layouts in ‘O’ gauge, Hornby ‘oo’...

Midweek Money Savers: 14th July
Not the most exciting of topics for this weeks Midweek Money Savers …utility bills. Unfortunately, they’re certainly not the cheapest of bills either! If you’ve never changed energy providers then you’ll be in a strong position to save a fair bit. We swapped a few years ago and then left it at that until recently. Then I moved...

Fire At Houghs
Many thanks to Dave Cowderoy for sending me this 1970 press cutting about a fire at the old Hough’s Timber yard. You’ll recall that we had a good discussion about Hough’s in this post. And by chance, yesterday I received this photo taken by Syd Bird of old houses in Hazel Road (off Chapel Road). The houses were demolished to make... [Read more of this review]
