OK, forgive me if I've got the wrong war or whatever but ...

When I was kid in Birkenhead there was a pork butchers on Oxton Road called Dashley's and damn fine pies and saugeses they made too. I believe their shop was attacked during anti-german riots, but the date I'm unsure of.

It was WW1. The Lusitania was sunk in 1915 by the Germans and that is what triggered off the riots. My people were hairdressers in Balls Road for many years in the earlier half of the 1900s.
Oh! I do love a good pie.

I have a feeling that some of the Boumphrey books have pictures in showing the damage done in Woodchurch Rd,Oxton Rd,and in Birkenhead and had some names in,I do have a book on the Lusitania which came out about 8 years ago but on checking can't find anything in it .
