This time last week, thousands of boys and men converged on the Old Christ Church in Crosby for its first-ever Toys for Boys event. Over 2,500 visitors from all over the North West marvelled at all the specialist toys at the exhibition, hosted by the Friends of Old Christ Church.
According to the Crosby Herald, ‘sounds of buzzing and beeping could be heard throughout the grounds and interior of the magnificent Grade II* building, as model trains, boats and planes where on show for all enthusiasts. Huge displays of Meccano structures swung around the former church and detailed model railway lines, complete with all the buildings, people, animals, trees and fields signals and lights, tooted along the tracks’.
Alongside the railway models, guests marvelled at the model trucks, tanks, vintage cars and military vehicles showcased in the ground. As Gifted Originals has written about before, adults love to regress back to childhood, so it’s no surprise the the event saw thousands flock to it.
Now, when will the Toys for Girls event be? Well, it’s only fair!
