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

This is Wallasey road crossing Torrington Rd and Belvidere Rd at the traffic lights.
My father had the Stationers and Printers shop at 106 Wallasey Rd just out of the photo.

I agree. If you check out the upper windows above the shops some have
the same decorative brick pattern around them. Also the one on the left
end has a single wide window and to the right they are narrower doubles.

So the shop at the left end is now Valentines Estate agents and to the right
of that is a kebab shop then Jones & Chapman.

Doh. Should have realised there were no traffic lights in Wallasey Village. Don't think there are any now apart from crossings and they didn't exist in that form then.
