Does anyone remember "ERIC CONNOR". I lived at 21 Highfield Drive from about 1945 to 1952, and attended Hoylake County Secondary (Parade School). | |

What a lovely idea for us ex-Greasbyites to connect with our past. | |

In reply to the question from Roger Clarke - The general store on Arrowe Road near to Escolme Drive was called Saxons. | |

Does anyone remember the 3 sisters ponds. I used to fish there a lot with mates, but they are now pretty much dried up. | |

Very interesting piece. Is there any information regarding the Park "Coronation Park" or of the Brook which separates Greasby from Upton. Many a time in my youth I succumbed to falling in this Brook whilst returning home to Frankby Grove from the park over the fields which I believe contained several woods (first wood had a large pond in it I recall). | |

I have just been told about this website by my sister and am enjoying reading about the village where we grew up. | |
| Simon Humphreys | 22 December 2007 00:00:00 |
Great site, I live in Hambldeon Drive, and agree, there is a certain ethos and feel to living in Greasby. Great place, love it! | |

My nan and grandad were one of the first people to have a house in Cortsway and had all the children there including my mum. Unfortunately my nan passed away in 2005 and my grandad still lives there today and my mum lives locally in Broadway (I've moved to Liverpool because of university) otherwise I would still live in Greasby today as it's such a great village. | |

Hello to everyone. I think the website is fantastic. I was born at 113 Cortsway in 1961 at my grandmother's house (May Fitzgerald v Calveley). Went to school at Brookdale and Hilbre, left in 1978 to join the Royal Navy, now live in Scotland. Would love to hear from anyone who remembers me or Rob (my Brother) or anyone who knew the family. My Mum Beryl Hughes (Singleton/Calveley) also now lives in Scotland and I can put you in touch with her if you wish by email. Mum lived in Greasby from 1938 and was there until 1976. | |

I came across this site quite by accident, and have enjoyed the nostalgia looking through it ! Keep up the good work. | |
| Robert Singleton | 08 October 2007 00:00:00 |
I was born in Greasby, lived until I was 16 in Broadway. I now live in Germany. My mother's name is Beryl Singleton, she now lives in Scotland where also my brother John lives. I think it's great that Greasby has got its own web-site. Keep it going. | |
| Colin H Haygarth | 01 October 2007 00:00:00 |
Does anyone remember the Haygarth family who moved from Tranmere to No.56 Lloyd Drive in 1937? | |
| Jane Marks | 26 September 2007 00:00:00 |
I lived at RAF West Kirby from 1952 to 1958, attending Mill Road Infant and Junior School, and Pensby Girls School. I loved Greasby and was devistated when my Dad was posted to Somerset in 1958. I remember my friends Carol Williams and Jenny ? both of whom lived in the Broadway, Irby (I think it was in Irby.) Would love to hear from anyone who may remember me. I was Jane Webb then. | |

Message for Mrs Betty Clarke of Bebington - please make contact again and show an email address (this will not be published). I would like to ask about the Rowe family. | |
| Dave D. | 28 August 2007 00:00:00 |
Just located an ancestor ( I suspect) of mine living in Greasby pre 1841. His name was Thomas Standish and his wife was Dorothy Adams. I am unable to locate any other Standish kin in the Greasby area but have lots of Standish kin in Neston. Any ideas ?? | |
| Mike Dixson | 16 August 2007 00:00:00 |
I was born in Greasby in 1968 to David and Irene Dixson and we lived there until moving to Heswall when I was 17. My parents were mainstays of Greasby Community Association and I remember them instigating/being a main part of the creation of the community centre that still stands now on the land next to the Red Cat. | |
| Garry Tarbuck | 13 July 2007 00:00:00 |
Any memories of Greasby primary school, now the infants school? | |
| Howard Dean | 12 July 2007 00:00:00 |
In the year 2000 a number of former members of the youth club of St. John the Divine, Frankby had a reunion. It was good to meet old friends and a good time was had by all. It is planned to have another reunion probably in 2010. If you were a member or you know of any members of the youth club during the 1960's & 1970's I would be pleased to hear from you. | |
| Roger Greasby | 28 June 2007 00:00:00 |
Hi - I'm Roger Greasby and you all seem to live in my town! My brother is Ian and father also Ian tho' known as Tim - his father was Frank and his (my great grandfather) Charles. If anyone knows where things go back from there it may be interesting! Top site. | |
| Boyd Hyslop | 24 June 2007 00:00:00 |
Great site - well done. | |
| Rod Hutchinson | 06 February 2007 00:00:00 |
I am just amazed to read the contribution from Keith Gibson. He was a great friend of my elder brother, David, in the 1940's and 50's and they were at Caldy Grange Grammer School together. When I was away at school in Shropshire, "Gibby" stayed with David and my parents at the house in Arrowe Road, while his parents were in Africa. Sadly, David, who was a doctor in Launceston Tasmania, died in 1996. | |

Hi all | |
| Carol Jones | 21 January 2007 00:00:00 |
Congrats on the web site talk about digging in the memory box, have been in Australia 53 years, great to see so many familiar names unable to put faces to them. Lived in Howell Dr. 1939 / 1951, worked in Jones Chemist. My brothers were Ron and Cliff, sad to say we lost our Cliff in 2000 he was a great artist and was very successful. | |

Have visited the site before and was impressed - now even more so. Left Mill Lane in 1974 for New Zealand. Both my children went to both Greasby Infants and the Junior School. I had involvement with the Frankby Greasby Scouts and also the "Thirty Club". Very happy times. Happy to hear from any Greasbyites who may have been there in my years. Lived in Rigby Drive & Hillcrest Drive before Mill Lane. Best regards Maureen | |

This website is lovely although it does make me homesick. I left Greasby to move to Scotland 6 years ago now but I still miss it. There is a certain ethos about the place that I have not found again yet. It's very welcoming and I miss it everyday. This website is an excellent link, it reminds me of my childhood. | |
| Claire & John | 19 November 2006 00:00:00 |
It's nice to be able to keep abreast of events going on in my former home town now I live in Norfolk. Looking forward to the scrub clearing in December. | |

thank you for helping me with my project on my home area, this site is gr8! | |
| Stephen Roberts | 31 October 2006 00:00:00 |
Thank you very much for the opportunity to indulge my appetite for nostalgia and homesickness. I grew up in Greasby between 1960 and 1984. My parents still live there and I visit as often as possible. I only live 75 miles away, but I feel like an exile. I now live in a pretty area close to the Lake District, but still find the view of Greasby Copse from Arrowe Road to be one of the most moving and poignant in the world. There is a quality to the light on the Wirral which cannot be found elsewhere. This website is very good. Well done. Keep up the good work. | |
| kirk c greasby | 13 October 2006 00:00:00 |
My last name is Greasby. My Great Grand Father was George Greasby. He married a woman named Charlotte Haywood. We live in Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA. When my father George Charles Greasby was in the war he was stationed in England and always told us how beautiful it was there. If you have any information on the family please contact me. Thank you and God bless. | |
| Howard Dean | 20 August 2006 00:00:00 |
I happened upon your website by accident and I am so pleased I did. Lived in Rylands Hey from 1942 to 1966. Anybody out there who remembers either my sister Olive (Greasby Carnival Queen) or myself please contact. hj.sanfield@tiscali.co.uk | |
| Mark | 17 July 2006 00:00:00 |
I grew up in Greasby and my parents still live there. I left 30 years ago, but still hold a strong attachment to the village and Wirral as a whole. I've enjoyed your site, and found the events page fascinating. The sunset walks to Hilbre sound great. | |
| Ant Lawrence | 25 May 2006 00:00:00 |
Very good to see someone actually cares about Greasby these days? | |
| Paul Donnelly | 22 May 2006 00:00:00 |
A great site, well done so far. I have lived in Greasby for 34 of my 38 years and still have plenty of school friends who live in Greasby. We often share stories of playing on the fields opposite The Cat Pub and what is now Greenacres. I must try and dig out some old photo's, I am sure I have one of the old village school from the early 70's. | |
| Ben Childs | 02 May 2006 00:00:00 |
I'm Ben Childs and I very much enjoy looking through this site as Greasby holds a special place in my heart. | |
| Anon | 08 March 2006 00:00:00 |
Interesting site, thank you. Have lived away from Greasby for 10 years now and enjoyed looking through the pics gathering some information about the ol place. Thanks | |
| Dennis Alcock | 03 March 2006 00:00:00 |
Have half of our bags packed ready for our trip back home to Greasby, UK, from the North Carolina mountain top ( Ole Smokey ) need bag space to bring back goodies. | |
| Keith Gibson | 03 February 2006 00:00:00 |
I seem to be going through a nostalgia phase in my old age, and having missed a book about the history of Greasby on ebay, thought I would look if there was anything about the village on the internet. I was delighted to discover a very interesting web-site with old photographs, and a note from Dennis Alcock. | |
| Dennis Alcock | 01 February 2006 00:00:00 |
How nice it is to be able to rekindle the days of old in Greasby. | |
