Publisher Description
IN the long-awaited follow up to the best-selling title, ‘The Lost Tribe of Everton & Scottie Road’, author KEN ROGERS once again takes you on a journey into Liverpool’s inner city terraced streets, questioning whether the 1960s ‘clearances’ of Everton and Scotland Road, that affected over 125,000 people, were absolutely necessary.
This new book draws on the emotion, warmth, and humour of the first ‘Lost Tribe’ title, but adds a catalogue of fascinating memories from the people who, like the author, lived in those steep streets of Everton and the inner city heartland area of Scotland Road. It will help you understand the sights, sounds and smells of the original Scottie Road; invite you into Everton’s Theatres of Dreams, and transport you back to Merseyside’s original ‘Magic Kingdom’.
You will walk again down ‘Greaty’s’ golden shopping mile, get your clothes cleaned at ‘Uncle Charlie’s Lunatic Asylum’, set your watch by the famous One O’ Clock Gun, and find out about the lady who bought half of Everton for just £115. Incredibly, you will also meet elephants, a lion and an African explorer in a remarkable back street concrete jungle. You will feel as if you are back amongst the people you cherished in your youth – your parents, grandparents and close neighbours.
Finally, you will take a walk back into history to make your amazing journey home complete.
