Old Photographs have always interested me.

Today a lady from Grassington came into the shop.

She had heard that I was interested in the History of the Southport / Birkdale / Halsall area of West Lancashire.

With her, she brought photographs of Brentwood School Southport

The photographs are from the 1928 period.

It would seem that Brentwood School was located on Albert Road or Morley Road/ Park Crescent in 1925
In 1929, I wonder if it it became Saxenholme and moved to Westcliffe Road Birkdale.

I am mislead by a piece of stationery that has printed on it ALBERT ROAD BIRKDALE.

Back to the photographs.

They were owned by one of the relations of Doulton, the pottery makers of Lambeth, London.

The interesting part is that on the back of the photograph is written all the names of the Children attending the school in 1928.

This photograph may contain a picture of one of your Grand or Great Grand or even Great Great Grand Mother mother.

why not call into the shop and have a view of the photographs.

May be you have some photographs of the people of the Southport area and now have no interest or need in keeping them. Just send them to me.
