I grew up Formby, family moved to Melbourne, Australia in 85.., I was 17. Other than differant businesses occupying the shops, the village looks exactly the same. Iceland was Tesco in my time. Lots of good memories, Melbourne was a bit of a shock when we arrived here, after our tranquil life in Formby.
When I was a teen I ived in Formby for a year back in the 70s. Wish I had made it back for a visit, I really enjoyed my time there. Fun place to be at that age -- everything was within walking or biking distance. I could go anywhere in town or take the train to Liverpool or Southport without having to worry about rides from adults.
Thank you for giving us a pleasurable walk with you. It is peaceful and joyful place. There is new development nearby. Are they near to the Formby village? How do they look?
