Skinheadsâ jeans of choice, if I remember rightly.
There was that⌠but more if you were at an away match, or anywhere else in the country, anyone wearing Flemings Jeans, was undoubtedly from Liverpool. The denim material they were made from, was so thick and rigid, it was virtually impossible for the jeans to bend at the knees when walking. You had to walk in a kind of âGoose-Steppingâ fashion until they had been through the wash cycle about twenty times to soften them up a tad :0)
Woolton is meant to be one of the posher areas. Walton Breck Road less so.
Brought back a lot of memories. My hall of residence and places I rented during the studying days were all closed to Sefton Park. Ducklings on the ponds. Fireworks at the park.
Thanks alot RedWhippet. This is such interesting fact about the local culture.

There is thisâŚ
Woolton Village in Liverpool was voted the North Westâs Best Place to Live in The Sunday Timesâ annual guide in early 2025, recognized for its vibrant village center with independent shops, strong community feel, excellent schools, green spaces, and Beatles history. Judges praised its walkability, family-friendly atmosphere, and charming amenities like coffee shops, a fromagerie, and traditional pubs.
Key Reasons for the Award:
- Vibrant Village Centre: Home to independent coffee shops, cocktail bars, and The Elephant Pub.
- Community & Walkability: A strong sense of community with most amenities within walking distance.
- Family-Friendly: Features great schools, parks, and nearby woodlands like Woolton Woods.
- Beatles History: Known as John Lennonâs hometown and the place where Lennon and McCartney first met.
- Green Spaces: Offers access to beautiful parks and natural areas.
Although, in fairness, there is a nice sports club on the Walton Breck Road.
You know. If i had to move out of London, South Liverpool would be my 1st choice. I like Allerton, Mossley Hill area. Also, area near Sefton Park.
I will check out Woolton next time i am there.
I need to be walking distance to the nearest station, bus stop. Also, not far from the airport.
