andytug,
Thanks for the link (sad story, why would he try to get back to Kilbride when there was Woodvale, Speke, Hooton Park and Hawarden in easy reach ?)
They can't have been all fogged-out, could they ?
Danny.
PS: Have a stroll down Lord Street on a bright morning for me - for I shall never see it again. Southport was my second home as a boy, my maternal grandfather lived there, I knew it (then) so well, and my parents lie in the Eastbourne Road [seems to be called "Cemetery Road" now] Cemetery.
