You may be right about Sunniways...Pearson Brothers Limited was dissolved in 1974, They had quite a fleet into the Sixties.

I don't have any photos of Smithdown Lane although there are some I believe of their body works: 168 Smithdown Lane by 1948 and then nunber 182 by 1949. That van appears to be a Bedford CA, with a Ford Popular 100E in front of it...so without checking the registration date on the van, it appears to be late Fifties?
I shall put some pix online for perusal. Were there any cobbled streets in the area? The Pearson depot in Overbury Street had a tall brick chimney with "PEARSONS" in capital white letters up it. The Shaw Street Garage (dealership on two levels) sold Morris, Wolseley, Standard, cars. There was also a Hire Car department and the coach hire office.
