Coming up Sefton Road from the village towards Ford, you pass both Litherland Parks. There was a shop on the next street corner ( and another possibly on the other corner). Could have been Mitchell Terrace.
Any ideas of names of shops? One was a general store I think, sweets etc.

Hi Jean Have you looked at the previous post on Sefton Road with the Holly House pub and a shop. Do you eemember it? The shop was once William Hampson and then later his son in law John Jeffers.

If you mean immediately on the left after litherland park (entrance opp the litherland hotel that was) it was Mrs Burns's shop. Sweets and tobacco. Also a big table covered in an oilskin tablecloth where the cart drivers used to stop for big mugs of tea. Their horses outside patiently munching on hay in their nosebags. I used to get sent up to get 10 Woodies for my dad and a specially ordered packet of condor sliced tobacco for my grandad. With the change I could pick things from the silver penny tray on the counter! Sherbet dabs, the thinnest Cadbury chocolate bar, black jacks- my fave, and fruit salad sweets. Ronnie's has a pic of Mrs Burns -it took me back years!!!
Norma is right, further up before EdgarTerrace was Fairfields, Dougie Fairfield ran it, mainly fruit and veg I think. I remember going up one day and there was a sign outside saying 'local grown potatoes, carrots and bananas'!!!

The two shops John means is Fairfields and Underwoods. I think it is Underwoods that is still standing and is a Gents Barbers.

Sorry Norma it was the Pickering that stumped me. The only time I went near those shops was when I was waiting for the 52 bus to take me to Goodison. My sister who lived in Bradley Road would take me.
