    BDGH was fully open in 1977 but preceding years had seen services move across from Beckett's and St Helens Hospitals. I was born in 1974 in the maternity unit at BDGH which had already opened.

    BDGH replaced the old
    St Helens Hospital in 1971 and was fully completed in 1977.

    Except for January and February - which were among the coldest and snowiest months on record...

    my earliest ones are from when I was 2 - going to collect my sister and mum from hospital in 1965 and also my Dad having a grey A35 van and an aunt putting her foot through the floor and Dad getting a new (well used ) Ford Anglia and going for a test drive in a yellow one before it was bought which was also late summer 65

    Talking of memories, how come I can remember bits of a Butlins Holiday in 1965 when I was 5, yet can’t recall anything about the World Cup the year after?

    It's weird my memories jump back and forth. I can remember being three and my Dad taking me to Beatties in Leeds to buy the N Gauge Mallard in 1988. I can't remember Italia 90. I can remember play school when I was four but can't remember the birth of my sister when I was nearly six. Yet I can remember wanting to watch the Cup Winners Cup Final between Man Utd and Barcelona in 1991 and being sent to bed missing it and having the monk on.
