LIVERPOOL COWKEEPERS

[ThrelfallYorky]

Only today spotted this thread. There were Threlfalls as cowkeepers in Toxteh, in the 1840s and 50s certainly. A Thomas threlfall with wife Mary, and several children. The intersting thing is that they seemed to move a lot more frequently than I'd anticipate with cows to accommodate! Essex Street> Norfolk Street> Fylde Street > Northumberland Road! Perhaps their cows didn't come en-suite?

Hi, I am very new to the site, and I would like to ask one who can help with a question about a Cow House at the top of the road I was born in, I think there was a cow house at the top of Saint Martin Street off Scotland Road, Liverpool this would have been in 1947 till about 1953 when I left the area.

Hello ysenoj,

Welcome to RootChat

I would start off a "New Topic" under Lancashire. It is funny but I caught a snippet of a film this morning on BBC News showing the last herd of Cows in Liverpool, shame I hadn't seen it all.

Regards

Sarah

I'm trying to find information on George Hall, who was a cowkeeper and hay dealer at 8 Murat Street Waterloo in c1910 - thanks.

   It may be a good idea for you to start a NEW  thread on that specific subject.

How do I do that?

Click on  category Lancashire,   then you see a box  "New Topic"

Click on that, then type your new thread title plus   what you said about Murat Street, Waterloo.

I was born in Waterloo.

I remember there were milk suppliers in Handfield  Road, Waterloo  in the 1950s.    and there was Jumps Dairy on Myers Road East  at a similar date.

I lived off Lower Breck Road in 40s and 50s and I remember a small dairy called Metcalfs at the bottom of Grange Street.  They had a cow in the yard at the back.  I am glad I spotted this post, as no one else in the family remember it and reckon I was making it up.  Anne

         I seem to remember Metcalfs had a dairy in Handfield Road  Waterloo  in the late 1950s and 1960s.    I wonder if they were related?

There must have been small family-run dairies everywhere. Our family one was in Murat Street.
