Here's another long gone shop. This was the main shop of the Birkenhead Co-operative Society in Grange Rd. It was called Tudor House. The newer looking part on the right is where TKmaxx is now, corner of St.John St.

Carphone Warehouse purchased most of the Tandy store's when Radio Shack ditched the brand in 2000.

Joe; my apologies. Bernards is opposite where the Post Office used to be. Trouble is, when I remember it, that was Morton's bookshop & the Post Office was further down, nearly at Charing Cross. The street with Bernard's on the corner is Barton St., now turned into a car park with Windsor St. which is the next one uphill, with the pub on the corner.

Looking from the Charing Cross end.Timpsons is on the corner of Horatio St. (for some reason re-named on Google maps as Abratio St. Pyramids start about where the bus is.

Looking down from roughly where St.John St is. I think that slight bend is still in the road. Ahead of you now is the new Market. The white tower in the distance is Allanson's, now Beatties

Looking back towards Charing Cross. The modern building on the right is the co-op store, corner of St.John St. (now TKMaxx)
