Twickers, my mother's parents live at Marple. When my mother was young, their idea of a seaside holiday was at New Brighton which is part of Wallasey, across the Mersey from Liverpool. When I was young we would go up on holiday during the summer and stayed with them. I have vague memories of going to New Brighton on a day out. We never got far enough to go to Blackpool. We sometimes went to Manchester and I remembered thinking it odd that two of the railwat stations were Piccadilly and Victoria as surely those were in London
