You are correct Bob Martins was on the corner of Hilton Street and Conway Street. I used to live in Craven Street and we went in there every night almost, as kids. He used to have all the cordials in barrels behind the counter and then pour a measure into the glass before using the pump to add the carbonated water, an early Sodastream. In the winter we had hot water from the boiler. Bob was the old guy with the slicked hair and then it was run by his son Edgar until it was closed down. The shop at the top of Park Road East opposite the Park was called Jacks.
Did "Bob Martin", have jokes and home made lucky bags in the window? ,or was it a shop further on?.It was items put between double glazing rather than a contemporary window display, However it did have sliding glass doors.Everything seemed to be sun bleached but the stink bombs still worked OK.Hot blood tonic after Livingstone Street baths in the winter, or the docks in the summer when blood tonic was taken cold, are my fond memories.
I remember it very well I also remember Petes Cafe just a little way down from Bob Martins it sold the best meals for miles around the pea and ham soup you could stand your spoon up in.
Hi bonnieboo - welcome to WikiWirral. I personally can't help you with this one, bit I'm sure there are loads of others who can. In fact, Bentlys was mentioned only yesterday in the 'Lowther, Fox & Craven St' topic. This particular topic was set up for information Bob Martins on Conway St., and you can do the same too, just go to Wirral Information Request and start a new topic, and you might get a better viewing with more results. Don't forget that there is a search facility on the top bar, and in most browsers, a control-f will search the whole page for a word that you give it.
And don't forget - go to the new members page and say hello. You don't need to write a lot, just a few words will do. Good Luck.
