The Family History Society of Cheshire

The Wallasey Group was inaugurated 20 years ago next March.  The Committee wants to mark the event and wishes to publish a book to celebrate the occasion and record the achievements of the group’s members over the years.

We, as a Group, are planning a photographic record of the many changes that have taken place in the areas that we cover.  This will include, Seacombe, Poulton, Egremont, Upper Brighton, New Brighton, Liscard, Wallasey Village, Leasowe, Moreton and Saughall Massie.

We will be using old photographs and contrasting them with ones of today that we plan to take.  The idea is to show what has been lost over the decades; what, if anything, has replaced it; and to make a record for future reference of what we have in 2009/10.

Plans are still at a very early stage and we would like to have an idea of how many of our fellow society members would be interested in purchasing such a book.  We are aiming for a retail price in the region of £10.00.

We will be opening a pre-publication subscription list in due course and would be pleased to hear from anyone who would be interested.

Please contact me, as soon as possible, with your name and contact details, so that we can estimate the rate of response.

I will keep you informed of our progress and advise you when the list will be opening.
