LOCAL history writer and photograper Jim O'Neil, of Shaw Street, Hoylake, has inherited a collection of old photographs, possibly from the family of the former swimming coach Charlie Tranter, who died a few years ago. These include sporting and gymnastics scenes from Hoylake Baths and the YMCA.

Jim is to stage an exhibition at Hoylake Library between April 8 and 17. He would welcome any feedback about the history of the pictures. If you can help, phone 632-2047.
