I can remember the Hydro being demolished to make way for the Town Houses on the promenade at West Kirby and Prices' farm on the Goose Green at Meols as if it were yesterday. My Mum is a resident of the care home at Caldy Manor and I pass the apartments there a couple of times a week and they certainly cost a lot more today even with a housing slump.

We now live in the aptly named "Bay of Plenty". Interesting to read the Hoylake news. I bought a pile of huge 12"x4" beams from the old Hough's yard when they were demolishing it, to use in my restorations of Invergarry. My children went to Market st. school for several years.
