Hi, Dave, I didn't work there very long; probably less than a year, 1952/53. After that I became a cinema projectionist, first at the Plaza, then at the Ritz. Went into the Air Force in June 1956 & never went back to Birkenhead. I visit it quite a lot now though.
Carpe diem.

Gateway in Moreton, which then became Kwik Save and now Somerfield. Solo which was owned by Somerfield was also in Moreton, but it was something else before it was Solo. It then became Somerfield, and when Somerfield and Kwik Save merged (until the shitty Labour government decided the likes of Tesco and Asda shouldnt have so much competition) it was eventually bought by Cool Trader and that stands there to this day. Ill think of other shops soon!  It used to be Lennons in the 80s I remember

Timpsons-somewhere by the samaritons charity shop. Back in the day when 'measuring size of feet' was standard.
