Kings Arms, West Craven Street, Ordsall. (c) Neil Richardson [1].
This old Walker & Homfray then Wilsons house on the corner of West Craven Street closed in 1971 and was pulled down a year or two later as part of the Ordsall redevelopments of the early '70s. The young lad with the ball is below a sign that really does say 'PLAY STREET - PROHIBITED ALL VEHICLES'. How times have changed - although at the bottom of the still surviving stretch of West Craven Street, Ordsall Park still caters for those who want to play ball.

My Dad lived in West Craven Street till he was called up WW2. He was stationed in Blundellsands when he met my Mum. Few years after the war they moved to Crosby
