Old Swan in general

[ChrisGeorge]

My family used to have a printer`s shop in Prescot Road, Old Swan, close to the P.O., the premises are now a pet shop. I wonder if there are any photos around showing the building as the printers, it used to have a canvas awning bearing the name `John Donald`. The printing business finished around 1947, I think, although the shop awning was still in use in the 1950s. The founders lived off St Oswald Street in a street that is no longer there, near where the health centre is today. Later they moved to Guernsey Road, off Green Lane. The great uncle who took over the business lived in West Oakfield Park.

Not a picture of the printer's shop but there is this Google Books result that shows a book printed by "John Donald, Printer, 556 Prescot Road, Old Swan." The publication is the Journal of the Liverpool Geological Association, Volume 6, 1886.

Cheers
