I was a year younger Than P Mac but never knew or met him; strange as we must have travelled on the same bus many times and I certainly remember the places in Speke described in pages like this. I lived in Hale Road, so Speke Hall, Oglet Lane and the Dam Woodswere evn closer for me, yet still I can't remember ever crossing their paths.Achitophelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12685142162246700806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2934268614255666891.post-74920741122757508652016-06-05T12:19:35.218+01:002016-06-05T12:19:35.218+01:00I attended Stocktonwood Rd School from 1949/51,one...I attended Stocktonwood Rd School from 1949/51,one of my teachers was Mr Parker.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
