Wasn't Moorhouse's a local firm? Think they had a factory somewhere down near Birkenhead Central.

Imagine the looks you'd get now if you went into a pub in Birkenhead and asked for a crème de menthe or an egg flip!

Have read that Moorhouse factory in Canning Street and possibly the same one as Taylor Street
May have been the Transport Museum at a guess

You're probably right Derek. Don't know why, but for some reason I thought they had a place down by Thomas St.

Must have dreamt that one.
