Court Hey Park-Memories

Letter and photo from George Peet

What a host of memories come alive to folk my age when they look at this photograph of a Green Goddess turning into Bowring Park - Who can forget the six weeks school holidays and the Penny Returns - Four rides for one penny. In those days I lived in Clubmoor, and armed with my bottle of home-made lemonade and sandwiches I would board the tram to the Pier Head- Gaze in Awe at the transatlantic liners, then jump on a 6a tram to Bowring Park to enjoy a day in the country with my lemonade and sandwiches.

I am an exiled Liverpudlian now in my 38 year living and working in Warwickshire in the West Midlands. For all of my life I have lived and played in the Park. My childhood was spent playing footie in the Park with the lads from Thornton Road (which backs on to the Park). The Autumn was spent conkering and getting up to mischief. The 2 Parkies I remember were Bob and Sid always telling me off for riding my Bike in the no cycling areas! As I grew up the Park became a place for eying up the local female talent (not very successfully in my case!) I remember the Putting Green, playing Bowls with my Father on the Bowling Green and Tennis in the Tennis courts.

Other Favourite Childhood Memories included riding my bike up and down the hills (huge dirt banks by the Tennis Courts sadly flattened in the 1980`s) I am very fond of the Park and I am pleased to see you and your friends looking after it so well. Please send me details of the Friends of Court Hey Park , I would be happy to help, to give a little back to an area that has given so much to me. Michael O` Farrell
