Here’s a super view of a car-free Ferndale Road that was also published and discussed over on this facebook page. Care to put a date to this photo?
I reckon that’s the view facing toward Hoyle Road though back then Hoyle Road might not have existed. And there’s a few more houses still to built on the lefthand side (those attractive 3-storey ones) as you head down Ferndale Rd to where it meets Chapel Road.
This is how google streetview (link) captured Ferndale Road in 2009:
I remember my friend Helen Stanley lived at 3 Ferndale before moving to Alderley Road
I lived at No 15 from 1968-1976 (Age 0-7)
MY GREAT GRANDMA AND GRANDAD LIVED AT 31 FERNDALE ROAD THEY WHERE CALLED ROGANS. mY GRANDMA WHOES NAME WAS EDITH ROGAN, UNTIL SHE GOT MARRIED THEN SHE BECAME HALL.MY DAD WAS BORN AT THE SAME HOUSE.MY GREAT GRANDMA AND GRANDAD ARE BURIED IN THE CHURCH YARD.
Was there some male relation in your family who used to be a commmissionaire at the Lighthouse Pavilion (later Winter Gardens, Hoylake Cinema etc.) about 100 years ago ?
If you are asking me Ruth at York ,Charles all i can tell you is that my grandma Hall ne Rogan did play the panio at the Winter Gardens for the silent movies.
