Depending on how long ago you're talking about, there were two. The Curzon was over the road to your left as you came on to Prescot Road from Baden Road and The Regent was on the same side to your right.Quote:

Originally there were 3 and I'm sure Sirob or Philip G will correct me if I'm wrong. :PDT_Xtremez_42:
The Curzon was on Dovercliffe / Prescot Rd.
The ORIGINAL Regent was where the Kwik Save is / was, it was that building ( it became Casino Cars after teh new Regent was built )
and the New Regent ( demolished ) is where Baden House is now.

I just had a browse around for info on the New Regent as I didn't know it existed and it was indeed on the site of Baden House from 1938 - 1967.
I remember it in the 50's. I can't honestly remember if it was still there in the 70's. My Grandparents lived at 10 Baden Road and I just walked round the corner. I loved the shape of it so it was probably Art Deco!Quote:

*****I asked my mother recently as I was only a kid and can't really remember and she said the cinema was in Baden Road itself!!!
It sounds more like the New Regent which as Martin described was on Baden Road/Prescot Road.
Here's a link to the picture...

hmtmaj.Sorry all I know is it was a cake shop in old swan indipendant.i'm not in liverpool so dont know how to find out.thanks.
Cubbons was on Broadgreen Rd, Sayers AND Reecses were on Prescot Rd, the other I speak of was Prescot Rd, opposite St Annes School, so maybe this is the one.
I only frequented it a few times if I was down that way, don't know the owners name etc, sorry, Mart
What was the one on Green lane.
Atkinsons? has it always been named that?
Edwardo
Any idea when he ran it?
The cake shop is still on Green Lane halfway up,dunno the name but its frontage is still as it was 40 years ago? its purple in colour.
This is Atkinsons on Green Lane, to the left side of the building, is the old Homestead Bakery sign
Spike.within the last 10 years or so.I dont live in the pool now so out of touch.he was a cook so his stuff would have been done on the premoses.Thanks
10 years. I've lived here longer than that? If Mart dont know it I dont know where it was sorry.
You sure it was Old Swan?
I suspect it'll be Tom Williams that's on Broad Green Road opposite Craven's/Aldi as that's a cake shop, albeit a fancy one.
Could well be Mark.
There used to be a cake shop next to Woolies (Home and Bargain) in the Swan. It's a greengrocers now. This was in the 70s, when I was but a kid. It was quite old fashioned if my memory serves me right, i.e. not like Sayers! I'm sure Martin will remember this shop.
There is one on Derby Lane. on the row of shops over the road from the Albany Pub. That looks like a family run shop, plus its been there for years.
There was also one by Rathbone Park, Any guesses where about this cake shop was was ?
by a cinema, by a school, by a pub ?
Just up the road from Rathbone Park there was a bakers. It was called Hanrattys. It's still there, but I don't think it's a bakers any more.Quote:

Its the way I wrote it, I meant to ask it of Edwardo, to give us a clue where it was.
Edwardo, where about was this cake shop ?
by a cinema, by a school, by a pub ?
Martin do you know anything about that one on Derby Lane? any idea who ran it?
There used to be a Sayers on the corner of the road, by the crossing / half way down.
Where is this one you are talking about Spike, Mart
Little Row of shops on Derby Lane. Across road from the Albany Pub.
There is a Dones Bookies there and its next door to that. The old Post Office was on this row.
Isn't it called the Derby Lane Sandwich Bar now and it's directly behind the bus stop? I do remember it being a cake shop in the past, although I don't know what it was called.
I've just found a picture of where it is on wikimedia commons, which seems to be a collection of post box photographs!. It's inbetween Juels & Gems and Betfred.

Thats it Mark
Yep the one behind the bus stop.
It sells mainly food now ( some cakes ) but was a cake shop in the past.
Can't remember the name sorry...
To be honest, never frequented Cake Shops much ! :ninja:
Oh yeahhhhhhhh
Sorry i'm a bit slow in replying.it was a cake shop in prescot road called Cook & Sons.
Whereabouts on Prescot Road? Do you know any of the shops nearby.
Hi Edwardo, it could be the one by St Annes School, Green Lane end of Prescot Rd.
There was a "Cooksons" shop, but that wasn't a Baker's.
Cooksons was opposite the Masons pub, then moved to St Oswalds St, it was a clothes shop.
Thought i'd bump this up as Mart has added to his Old Swan site since many will have first seen it.
Thanks Ged, cheques in the post :slywink:
It won't be after you see the 'Garden's gigs thread' :PDT_Xtremez_42:
Just seen it - Doh !
You following me? :002:
I go on there a lot. Some great pics and info on there:PDT11Quote:
