MEMORIES OF POST-WAR LIVERPOOL

<p><span></span>Robert Dutch's memoirs take us back to a working-class Liverpool in the aftermath of the Second World War where children's paths were meant to be set out for them based on the results of the 11-plus exam. Robert however refused to accept the outcome of the 11-plus which had him at a secondary modern school with an expectation that he would leave education at the age of fifteen and start earning a living. With support from his family his schools and particular teachers combined with a lot of drive and determination he went all the way to university and has never stopped studying since!</p><p> </p><p>This is not to say that there has been no time for other things from weight-lifting medals to becoming a husband and father as well as a committed Christian with a deep interest in theology. Robert has travelled extensively but no matter how far he has gone he has never forgotten his roots in Grey Rock Street Liverpool.</p>
