Hi.
I have just come across your website and watched the excellent video of the Liverpool Overhead Railway.
It is referred to very briefly in my first published book ‘Ernie Who…? (Non-Fiction) which relates to my young life in Bootle before, during and after WW2. You may find my website of intrest.
The book is about a young lad who was brought up in extremely adverse conditions, joined the Police Force as a last resort, rose through the ranks before retiring and going into business at the age of 50. His late success has enabled him to travel the world in luxury.
I would be delighted to contribute to any project on my beloved home town.
Regards
Ernie Jackson.

This is a brilliant and much-needed site. It’s so exciting to read so many personal testimonies of post-war life in British cities – what it was like to move to cities, to live in prefabs and tower blocks, to work in the factories. I can’t wait to see it grow and diversify even further. Thank you Selina and Hilary.

I am interested in doing some interviews with women who worked in male occupations like construction and engineering during the second world war, they are all now very old. Firstly, has this been done, and, if not, would it be of interest and can you advise me
Yours
