A BILSTON FAMILY IN THE 20TH CENTURY

In 1939 we had a school trip to Liverpool. This is us on the ferry across the Mersey. The ship was the SS Samaria and it took us across to Birkenhead. |

from left to right: me, Sylvia Talbot, my sister Frances. In front: my youngest, Patrick. We are at Rhyl, which was our nearest seaside resort and which many people from here went to. We were on a day trip. We went there in "the big green van". My husband, Val, was a motor mechanic and did a variety of jobs, for many of which the big green van was essential; but we used it for family transport too. |  |
