Thanks Celia.....
I have a few memories of the old house,  I know that as a child,  I was scared to death of going upstairs to bed at night,  so old,  dark  and creaky.
If you have any pictures,  they would be nice to see .

I did manage to find an old class picture on line,  of Vaughn Road school,  where I went for my first few years...quite nostalgic...

Thanks
Richard

Hello,

Not sure if anyone can provide any information on this,  but it appears this forum is as close as I have ever come to this answer ?
I was born in Wallasey in 1954,  and my family  lived in Fountain Lodge,  on Fountain Road (just behind Rake Lane),  and we lived there until we moved to Kenilworth on 1961.
My mother and I emigrated to Canada in 1968 after my father passed away in Kenilworth.
The house was owned by my fathers employer I believe,  a gentleman by the name of Teddy Heron ?  who owned  either a garage or an automobile dealership of some kind called Heron Motors ?
At the time we lived there,  there was a church and graveyard adjacent to our house, separated from our garden by a brick wall.
Looking now on Google Earth,  botht he Lodge House and the Church are gone ?
Does anyone have either information on the Church name and what happened to it ?  or any photos available of the Fountain Lodge House ?

Any information would be appreciated...

Sincerely
