Right ..the police station was based in the first garage house in ALL SAINTS ROAD.... I think it's No.20.
The family who lived there were the MILLERS. Ted miller was himself a policeman and they moved later in life to RUNCORN new town. I presume their son JOHN still lives there. The fire station was right opposite our house
No 21 ALL SAINTS RD. It was made of wood and corrugated iron. At the back were the recreation[billiards]and sleeping quarters ..basically " huts".
The first house No 10[I think].. was the mess/dining area ... later the WILLIAMS family lived there when the new station opened at CONLEACH RD.
We used to play on the engines and I remember one incident when the fire engine was called out.We were playing on the 10 Tonner when we saw one of the firemen returning on foot to pick the waggon up as it contained extra hoses which they must have needed ..we panicked and hid in the back and off we went..My DAD realised what had happened and followed on his motorbike ..he managed to flag it down on the Dunlop Rd...and out we got!!!
