    Thought it had. I remember Park Road being a busy bustling shopping area. How times change. I wonder if the new Tesco will help around there.

    When I was young Mum and I shopped there every day ! ( we lived just off High Park Street), as we didnt have a fridge etc we had to shop for food all the time, it was a very busy Road and full of every sort of shop that you could ever need....my Uncle ran a Butchers shop which was never empty....
    The Leo's supermarket was built on the site of our old house, the best time was when the Market appeared on the car park space there

    It's like Borough Road in Seacombe, that used to be good shopping, King Street Wallasey, another good road. Where does it go wrong.

    Borough Road is all housing now and King Street has been run down for years. Similar thing happening to Walton Road.

    So many good shopping roads now like ghost towns; Walton rd as you say, Townsend Lane - half derelict. St Marys rd Garston - I believe is like a ghost town, Lodge lane - just not what it was. Wavertree rd - half derelict ! Granby st - a ghost town, an so on.

    Worse one is London Road and up into Kensington. Dreadfull. Breck Road is pretty bad now isn't it?
