Story from Ballantyne Road

liverpooldiproject

I am 87 years old and was brought up in Liverpool. I left when I was 23 but my family lived there for many years after. I would not know where to begin, I have so many memories and stories to tell. No photos as we didn’t have a camera in those days. I started school infants at Ballantyne Road in September 1939, the month the war started. Later a landmine fell on the Junior school and we couldn’t go to school for quite a while. We would have lessons of a sort in a lady's dining room. As a teenager I used to go dancing at the Locarno Ballroom. And we went regularly to the cinema however the nearest were the Carlton and Empress in Tuebrook.
