    Commutation Row/London Road junction in 1960 with thanks to Colin Wilkinson.

    There's a red Crawfords wagon on it.

    I didn't Ged. They're from a Management Services (as we were called then) pamphlet showing the buildings that would be affected by plans to demolish parts of the site.

    I'm not sure of his wife's name, it might have been Julie or Jane. What was the wife's name of The John Roberts you knew as it might jog my memory. They eventually moved to the new (at the time) estate off Walton Hall Avenue between the bridge and Walton Hall Park. His dad's name was Niv and he worked in the sorting office in Copperas Hill if that's any help.

    Hi - new to the forum and was wondering whether anybody could help with one of the initial posts on this thread?

    Centre Screen Productions are producing an exhibition for the Museum of Liverpool about the Crawfords biscuit factory.

    We would like to use an image from this thread: http://www.yoliverpool.com/forum/sho...rds-Binns-Road (3rd image down). Looks like the person who posted is no longer a member and i'd like to make contact. Alternatively, any information on where the picture was taken from or who the photograph belongs to would be great.

    Please contact me at the Centre Screen office on 0161 832 7151 or email laura@centrescreen.co.uk with any information.

    Many thanks, Laura

    I am still a member Laura, just under a different guise. It's in a corridor in work and as such I suppose it belongs to United Biscuits. I'll ask about permissions and get back to you.

    Mark.
