Crosby Village

Things are definitely not wot they used to be.

This building was for many years first when my parents and I moved here in about 53/54 the National Provincial Bank.
In about the 60/70's it became the Nat West now and for many years has been a wine bar and the source of much trouble. However I think things have improved during the past few years.
Sainsbury's moved into Crosby about 20 years ago and not only built a large new shop but bought up many of the other smaller shops as they became empty, with plans to build a much larger Supermarket. But they have finally been beaten by the residents of the area and with-draw all plans for the future saying that due to the economic situation it's not in their best interests!

It saddens me that the village looked so empty today and the other two times I've been. I can just about remember what stood where before the so called regeneration.
