i recall it was in a row of offices one of which sold fires, i used to be a paper boy at gerards the newsagents. we would go around the back of the pub to get wooden crates for our trolleys . Matalan was a car showroom and bromborough paints was peters the builders next to the po. The po was owned by a right grumpy old woman who had the chemist by the chippy and cafe.

There's a real danger that the left will drag Britain back to the 1970s, with secure well-paid jobs, ample housing, properly-funded NHS and social care, free tuition, student grants, final salary pensions, affordable rail fares and fabulous films and music. David Osland 2025
