  1. Hi I just wanted to say thankyou for a great web page. I am from Liverpool, Kirkby originaly but have been living in LA for the past ten years. And it was just great to be taken back to the places I went to as a youth. Once again thank you very much.

  2. Hi,I visited your webpage about Lark Lane, Liverpool. As a big Beatles fan, I like Liverpool and visited there two times. Before I went to Liverpool, I made a net friend who lives in Liverpool and met her and her friends when I went to Liverpool. She invited me to her flat, it was Alexandra Drive, Aigburth. She lived there with her boyfriend, now her husband, and a dog. When I was there, they took a walk with a dog. It was very nice place to walk. We went around Sefton park and Lark Lane. This trip made me not only the Beatles fan but a Liverpool fan.

    3. Unfortunately, they moved to Birkenhead last year. But they said they like Lark Lane for its bohemian atmosphere. I live in Japan but living in Liverpool is my future dream. Bye for now.

  4. What would look good would be some photos of the old  ROLLS ROYCEs  being fixed in the garage near the park, my 3 lads and I allways try and take a peek inside when we are up taking  the dog for a walk.

  5. Your web page has caused a lot of discussion in our house this evening, as I have my parents visiting from Aigburth, particularly the picture of the last tram on Aigburth Road,  The overall conclusion is that it is not Lark Lane on the left, but the picture was taken further down Aigburth Road, (towards the Vale).  The shops on the right are the ones close to Fulwood Park.  A very enjoyable evening has been had by all perusing your page's and discusing all the changes over the last  36 years that Mum and Dad have been living in the area.  Thanks for a very entertaining evening - keep up the good work.

  6. Really enjoyed visiting the Lark Lane website.  It brought back lots of memories.  My friends used to live in a flat above the barbers shop next to the post office in 1968/69. I've made a note of it and will tell all my scouse internet friends around the world.  Thanks for the memories.

  7. Hello!  I was looking for a book by a woman named Lark, when I spotted your website.  I'm writing from San Carlos, California, which is near San Francisco.  You can't imagine how amazed I was to be transported back to Lark Lane.

    I was born in Oxford during the war (otherwise I would have been born in Liverpool).  We came to this country in 1948, but my mother was so homesick, we went back to England, and Liverpoool and lived on Livingston Avenue for 6 months we had lived at #10 Livingston Avenue before leaving for the United States.

    When we returned we stayed with friends at #3 Livingston.  I was eight years old at that time.  I went to St. Charles school.

    I remember being in Sefton Park as a young child, maybe four or five.  How incredible it is to see it represented on the web.  I felt transported right there.  I don't remember many of the shops, but I do remember a bakery where the loaves were set in the window and a cat would lay on them. Thank you for bringing this to me in so very a graphic way.

    I don't get back to England much.  I am now a widow, but I've been thinking
    of taking a trip to England and I had planned to stop in Liverpool.  Your
    website has certainly given me the incentive to do so.  Congratulations on
    your marriage.

  8. Thanks for recalling the happy memories. My first job on leaving Dingle Vale School was at the top end of The Lane, the florist, TONKIS. That was 1949. I shall be 65 in 1999, look out I shall be back, God willing in 2000. Have a G'day.
