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. This is a brilliant and much-needed site.

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. Hi.
