yes depends on weather you liked the bottle works or not. I liked the job because I was surounded by good workmates. We went the match together, socialised and worke together. Thats the way it was under the bridge in those days- brilliant. However there was some hard jobs in the Bottle Works like the Batch Hole- hard physical labour. The enamelling plant I worked in was cushy.

hello Garstonite. Yes under the bridge was a bit isolated from the rest of Garston/Liverpool. Two ways in and out Blackburn Street and Church Road. Hundreds of terraced houses huddled together surrounded by factories. However no one need to go out of the confined area-everything was on hand. Industry, schooling, retail, recreation and worship. Most of this is gone- nearly all. However there are new houses being built and the area is getting on its feet. best wishes to you.

I think these are the details you have pondered over
1901 Rodick st, Much Woolton
Thomas Hart 40yrs born in Ireland
Maria 32 born Woolton
Mary 8yrs born St Helens
Annie 4yrs born Garston

This you might find worth having a look at. Many people in Garston moved from woolton where there was a large population of Irish people

The girls have a slight name change 10 years later to Maria and Anna, Thomas still states he came from a place in Ireland  and Maria is in the factory that her sister Annie goes into :) I think your dad could be right about Annie's birth date...see what you think. sorry due to copy rights I'm unable to give you the details.pm me if you cant find them.
 Forgot to say you need to make at least three postings to send PMs

really good site for a bit of Garston  under the bridge history. Lets start the ball rolling. Emma Salisbury fish seller. Frank Durkin Coalman. Gandolfos news agents. I am from under the bridge originally and I was proud to know the people who I was brought up with- I was born 1947
