Surviving Adverts and Shop Signage

[Ged]

One of my weekend haunts this Chris. In Litherland Road, Bootle - Merton Road end - not a million miles from the docks but wouldn't liike to walk it if gasping for a pint

Locally known as Bootle village - a few pubs in the general locality.

Thanks, Ged. I suppose the actual tavern has gone and the datestone was just incorporated into a later building, is that right?

I would imagine so looking at that brickwork.

[PhilipG]

I live around the corner from there and never noticed that. sure it's Seaforth Rd not Bridge Rd?
so my guess for a pub in the guess the location is a bit out then.

It's 75 Seaforth Road, on the corner of Seaforth Vale West, and its probably always been a shop.
I found a site for Seaforth this morning, and nobody there knows what it's all about, but somebody pointed out that that terrace was built soon after 1881.

Just shows you. I spend ages photographing other areas and miss stuff 2 minutes away.
I've got a book on Seaforth. just popping to the local shop will have a look when I get back, might be an old pic of it. won't be long.

What's the mystery in Seaforth - can't see the pic of it?

Yer what?
I thought you read threads before posting in them?

[Ged]

I've looked and looked and looked

The first reference I see to it is your msg 99 Philip but no photo?

quincyg saw the pic in #99 because she repeated it in #104.
Ged, I don't know if you're with us today.

re Eaton Road: I know that building you mean. It also has a pair of hands shaking, at the top of the building.

Well can you see it now, cos I can't see it in either msg 99 or 104. Am I going barmy

[Ged]

I think I may have solved my missing pics because it's only happening with Philips, can't see his Cemetery gates on another thread either.

New comp in work has a filter which is not allowing some sites to be accessed, so I guess flickr is one of them then.

so it's not a senior moment then?

Had a look in my Seaforth book but the old photos don't show that shop...grrr.

Yeah it could do. The section on the side I mean is a little taller than the ones to the left so there could be room for more sign o stuff. I think there are also shaking hands in tuebrook on one of the buildings, maybe by the co-op shop

[quincyg]

went to Eaton Rd to do the old Co-op that was mentioned



these are the hands on the West Derby Rd one, this was one of the Co-Ops my late mum worked at in the late 50's early 60's. she also worked at the Darley Drive branch
