TIMES Past is plunging back into Victorian England this week, with a photograph captured in 1878.
The snap shows the old mill, which was in Mill Lane in Formby. And if you look closely you can see the owner sitting in front of it. If you think your house now occupies the site, please get in touch.
And finally, some light has now been shed on last week’s ‘sepia snap shrouded in mystery,’ thanks to Mrs Beryl Carr.
Beryl has dated the picture to 1937, and put names to several of the faces. The front row from the left is Maureen Murphy, Betty Kirby and possibly Dillis Edwards.The middle row, from the left is Hilda Grimes, Kathleen Murphy and Olwen Aindow.
Beryl told Times Past that the photograph was taken at St Luke’s School in Jubilee road, and that Maureen and Kathleen Murphy went on to enjoy successful nursing careers.
