With the wrecking ball and bulldozers of the Sixties and Seventies the communities were dispersed to all corners of Merseyside and 200 years of history from its early beginnings in the 1770s as a turnpike road to Preston and subsequently Scotland was consigned to the Mersey winds. This publication looks at the history of the area, the characters, communities like Little Italy, and how the people lived. Coming up to date it reflects the vibrant community groups still flourishing in the area. There are great photographs from the Scottie Press collection and rarely seen historical images from the League of Welldoers' Lee Jones Collection. This 84-page magazine is a celebration of the true Scottie Road spirit packed with photographs and memories, including contributions from personalities such as Billy Butler, Mickey Finn, Frank Carlyle and Frankie Connor. The bricks and mortar of Scottie Road may be a memory but the spirit lingers on. You can take the people out of Scottie Road but you can never take Scottie Road out of the people.
