It was 1964-1966 It was a shop that sold provisions like cheese cooked meats bacon sausage it had a cellar where all the stuff was stored it was about three quarters of the way up on the left. They also had a order bike which I used to do deliveries.

yes----i worked there for a while many years ago, it was in Rock Ferry not New Ferry, it was off Bedford Rd---can't remember the name of the rd, and part of it was in the old church that was on New Chester Rd.
