Ellesmere Port Memories: Changing face of the Port

By Ellesmere Port Pioneer on Nov 18, 09 04:19 PM in 1900-1999

The Pioneer has once again been trawling through its archives of old photographs of Ellesmere Port.

A photograph taken on dockers in Ellesmere Port dockers apparently taken in the late 40s, early 50s.

You may recognise some of these vintage images of yesteryear as The Port changed throughout the decades from the toiling dockers of the town's industrial past to the shopping precinct and the rise of the town as a retail attraction.

If you recognise anyone on our Nostalgia pictures, or have a picture you would like to see on our Nostalgia page e-mail or post them to Chronicle House, Commonhall Street, Chester CH1 2AA.

Hello I wonder if you would be able to help me. I am looking for any obituaries that may have been printed in the Ellesmere Port Pioneer for a Joseph Barron who died in 1978 who had sons namely Sidney and Jim Barron. Could you also search for an Obituary for Sidney Barron - married to Mair who died in 1981.

Thanks very much
