For years there were a few single storey shops before you got to Aigburth Vale.
(I think I mixed up Aigburth Vale with Ashfield Road before).
Those single storey shops and the building on the corner of the Vale have gone and have been replaced with a block of flats.
The ground floor is taken up with garages as that was historically an area prone to flooding.
At one stage a cinema was planned for that site. Not a lot of people know that!
Hi Philip

Yes last time I drove through Aigburth Vale, I was startled to see that where I labored as a bank clerk in 1968, the former Martin's and later Barclay's Bank, is now a wine bar! Thanks for clarifying that the boundary marker is on opposite street corner, beside the former bank on the Liverpool side, what had been "the opposition" -- Westminster Bank-- when I worked in the locality, but now a sort of private Labour Exchange. "Work today. Get Paid today". Incredible.
Good to know about the trivia that a cinema was actually mooted to go into the area at one time! Thanks, Philip.
