In My Liverpool Home - JOE2
After Joe Scarborough’s visit to Liverpool, with a true Scouser, he managed to capture on canvass life in the 50’s and 60’s for a lad who was bread and buttered on the streets of what was to become the City of Culture, wow - who would ever have dreamed that! Liverpool has two football teams Liverpool and Liverpool Reserves. Football is more important to a Liverpudlian than life and death. Wrayburn Street in the Edge Hill area of Liverpool was where this boy was born. Street parties were held for every occasion with home made decorations. Every house provided food to put on the make shift tables. Webster Road School, another important place was where this boy was educated or should we say attended! Can you see the tram on its way to Anfield, also the City of Liverpool Skyline on the River Mersey with the Royal Iris waiting to provide the Saturday night entertainment. Remember Yates Wine Lodge, well known for its white rum. A joke always popular in the 60s was if you’re looking for a Cathedral; don’t worry “we’ve got one to spare”. Joe asked, “Why did you leave Liverpool” “ cos I got a job as a missionary travelling the world and teaching them how to speak scouse.”
