Where the Tyre Guys are I can remember walking along there about 40 years ago and there was small posts about 2 foot high and a chain linking themabout every 12 foot. Also there was a small pool, made of yellowish bricks, I dont remember any fish. I think the area was a car showroom them days.

I wonder if it was my old willys jeep GRC 395. Sold it to a garage in Burns Avenue for £15 and a box of tools. That was in about 1963.

Toronto Motors was in (surprisingly) Toronto Street where the gearbox specialist is now.

The Tyre Guys site used to be Wallasey Car Auction back in about 1988.
