Ellison Street

The photo showing "A lock-up in Ellison Street with an old gas lamp still in place.." This photo shows the Yard doors to the Milk Dairy in the late 1920s. Behind the doors to the left-hand side was a stable for 2 horses and a pony. At the back of the yard was a midden for horse and cow muck. On the right-hand side of the yard was a shippon for 4 dairy cows and further up the street to the right-hand side of the photo was the milking parlour. My Aunt Helen Owen and her Husband Joseph Owen owned the dairy. I was born in 1934 the year after the death of Uncle Joseph. The premises no 35 Ellison St. were converted to a fish and chip shop in 1939 by my Aunt Helen. I lived at the fish and chip shop until 1961. The whole area of terraced houses around Gt Homer St. was demolished in the 1960s.

A popular photo of Ellison Street in 1962 of four ladies having a good chin wag. The ladies sitting down are Mrs Dainty and her daughter. In the distance the lady holding a baby is a Mrs Ada Jamieson. Standing next to her is her daughter Jean. On the left of the photo is standing a lady known as Aunty Martha. Linda Ellis who runs an excellent FB page on Liverpool History lived next door to Ada Jamieson who was her aunty. Her dad's mum also lived next door as well. Families like Linda's gave rise to a close knit community in the Everton District which was sadly destroyed bit by bit between 1955 and 1975.
