Thank you David. Those were terrible times. I'm glad I wasn't even thought of back then! As an American I would say that we have been more fortunate in this regard. Although, one of our WW11 pilots lost over seventy years was just returned to his surviving family. The whole city stood in tribute, for 7 miles long, as his remains went by. Can you imagine after all these years. We must teach our children to be thankful to all those in the past that sacrificed so that we could have a good life today.

I'm afraid there are signs, sometimes, that that is not the case which I find appalling.

Thank you for some great photos.
Although Welsh, I grew up on the Wirral and enjoyed seeing the photos.
We have friends who live near Bidston Windmill and the views from there are stunning.
Live in N Wales now, but visit the Wirral fairly often, especially Raan Thai in Prenton!

Thank you, David and clairmarie--if we all knew more history, perhaps there would be less heedlessness: "it can't happen here (or again)"

Lovely pics. Hope to visit one day. Thanks for sharing!

As I say it's more than a pity they got cropped up loading here. I put a facebook link here which would have been much better but I thnk the mods must have deisallowed it.

Where abouts in North Wales?

My Grandmother lived in Llandudno Junction from year 1 for me to about 35 so we know the area well. (many holidays in the hills)

see if that works

Hi David, I too live on the lovely Wirral. Thank you for putting it on the map - lets hope more people visit here to enjoy all we have to offer.

That was the intention.

It took us an hour to drive up there and we had agood day out.

Plus the little guy was so enthusiastic AND knowledgeable...

It does annoy me me when people jet off to foreign places, burning up our fosssil fuels (and thus damaging our eco structure) when these places are on our door step and maybe little is known about them.

The link worked. We sometimes go to the Country Park or the Marine Lake. Walked out to Burgh Island many years ago

Burgh Island?
I know Hilbre island, but not Burgh?
Must google it now!

Sorry I got my islands mixed up- should have checked first, put it down to a senior moment. I do indeed mean Hilbre. The other one is in Devon- have walked to that as well though.
