Wallasey Group FHSC - 20th Anniversary March 2010

The Wallasey Group was inaugurated 20 years ago in March.  The Committee wanted  to mark the event and have published a book to celebrate the occasion and record the achievements of the group’s members over the years.

 Our Anniversary Book, Wallasey Now and Then, is now published, and is available  at  £9.95 plus P&P, if required.  It is an A4, perfect bound book, with 176 pages and contains more than 400 photographs, old and new.

The book records many of the changes that have taken place in what was the County Borough of Wallasey.  It covers the areas of Poulton, Seacombe, Egremont, New Brighton, Upper Brighton, Liscard, Wallasey Village, Leasowe, Moreton and Saughall Massie.

Most of the new photographs have been taken during 2009 and 2010, especially for the book.

Please get in touch with me for further details of how to obtain your copy.
