fugtifino Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 A friend of mine is working on this project which will culminate in a exhibition at Warrington Museum. She'd be very grateful for any stories, tales, photographs, memorabilia, resources, anything basically. Post here or email "claire@warringtonvc.org.uk" Thanks folks.

Evil Sid Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Will have to have a potter through my photo albums and see if there is anything suitable. Probably not many from that era at least the early sixties but maybe a few towards the back end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 I was born in the 60s but not quite ready for the museum just yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fugtifino Posted June 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Cheers Sid, appreciate it. Would like to say the same Gary, but I didn't live around here back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 I was only a tot so other than the odd old LP lurking and a few photo's of a local Warrington Group/Band of the time who used to frequent the local stages I'm afraid I have no recollection or memorabilia myself. Will ask around though. As for resources.... I just posted a link about Winwick Hospital (no current copyright).... and there's some really interesting info and photo's on there from the 60's if that is any use. Probably not... but if so if it is maybe polite to contact the owner of the website first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harry hayes Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 My police memoirs are lodged in the library - full of stuff from the fifties onwards. A perhaps better source would be Peter Wroe who is the main man at the Police museum, Arpley stree. Will be a great source of photos; memorabilia; and stories. Happy days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeithR Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 Carlton club on Tuesdays and Fridays, The Lion on Saturdays, fantastic. All came to an end once the Speke and Huyton mob started to go though. Once Burtons window was smashed by someone being thrown through it,the enjoyment was lost.

algy Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 Sorry I can't help out on this one as we got married in 1962 so I wasn't a loose cannon, I seemed to spend most of my time working lots of overtime to try to gather a comfortable home together, when i did managed to get a Saturday off I used to travel down to Molineux to watch Wolves play. The 50s' was my area, Teddy boys, suede shoes, finger tip length jackets and string ties with James Deane being the girls heart throb with Sophia Loren for the blokes and Johnnie Ray and Peggy Lee the singers of the era, sorry fug this is not helping your friend at all.

Evil Sid Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 Well have had a good scout through the albums and so far haven't found one that depicts any era of the sixties. Plenty before that era and quite a few after. Seems like taking pictures in the sixties took second place to something else. Problem for me is that I was three years old at the start of the sixties and thirteen by the end of it. Just when I was at an age to appreciate all those short skirts they went out of fashion for the maxi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter T Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 SID, The late 50's was the era of showing a bit of ankle that got the pulses going. The mini skirt whilst mind-boggling left nothing to the imagination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
