Compo 10,328 Posted September 8, 2020 Report Share Posted September 8, 2020 I have been trying to identify the location of this photograph. Featured are myself in my mother's arms and my maternal grandparents. Can anyone identify the location, please? The date is 1951 and in those days i don't think we travelled very far from Nottingham for our day-trip holidays. The trip would have been taken by train or coach. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

philmayfield 6,115 Posted September 8, 2020 Report Share Posted September 8, 2020 Your right! I’ve been there (ferry across the Mersey) and would have seen that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stuart.C 491 Posted September 8, 2020 Report Share Posted September 8, 2020 I got it from this map, click on the location and it brings up a picture. I went along the East Coast first then over to North Wales https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_lighthouses_in_England Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,328 Posted September 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2020 Many thanks Stuart; someone in another forum said they thought it might be New Brighton but your image is spot-on. I wonder if we went by a Skills or Barton excursion coach? Surely, it wouldn't have been by train from Nottingham? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stuart.C 491 Posted September 8, 2020 Report Share Posted September 8, 2020 Google's pretty good at finding answers, but I don't think it can answer the Skills, Bartons or Train question. I'd guess Skills, I seem to remember they went everywhere Quote Link to post Share on other sites
