Is there anybody that can tell me the name of the cake shop that was on Moreton roundabout where Les Turner's tobacconists was (on the corner of Oakenholt Road). I am looking at the time period of about 1930-1940. The owners are believed to have lived on the right hand side of the road as you drive into Meols. Any help greatly appreciated .

1938,
Hoylake Rd.
On the corners of Oakenholt Rd was the Plough Inn and Barton Mills, Stationer, next to Barton Mills towards Pasture Rd was Mrs F Laidlaw, Confectioner.
Heading towards Meols, on the corner of Hoylake Rd/ Bermuda Rd, no number given in the 1938 directory.
Mrs Frances Laidlaw, Baker.
God help us,

Thank you so much for that Bertieone. It has let me put a name to a photograph of my late mother's. All I knew was that it was of the son of the owner of the cake shop and was taken circa 1936. I have very very vague memories of the cake shop as I grew up in Glebelands Road, Moreton. Once again you have been my hero. It is appreciated so much.
Where would we be without you?
