Kevin F. Taylor. I was recently invited to attend a garden party to celebrate 150 years of the Bidston Observatory, hosted by Stephen and Mandy Pickles on Saturday 17 September 2016 in the grounds of Bidston Lighthouse. This gave me a deep sense of déjà vu, as it reminded me so much of my first day as a member of Bidston staff at the start of 1972. My youthful and vivid imagination had no bounds in ‘them days’. She was just my Nan. So, time is a funny business. Time eventually became a significant factor...
