Hi, I'm just catching up with the posts so please forgive me if this reply is a little out of sequence.
Celeste, Is the ferry you are thinking of the one that used to be at the bottom of Irlam road, Flixton? It used to cost a penny to cross to Irlam, where you could walk accross and go to Kwik save and Iceland stores or futher up to Tesco.
Anyone go to St Thomas of Canterbury junior school?
I noticed the church recently on big fat gypsy wedding.
