Ronnie it's altered quite a bit now as Hoppya shop has been converted into flats and the Hoppys sign is shown on the back of the building. Eddie ran the shop since at least 1978 as my son worked for him in the fishing shop upstairs on Saturdays and after school whilst still at school. Eddie passed away a few weeks ago but his name wasn't Hopkinson, I can't remember what it was but his parents were in No. 8 Sefton Road. I'll try and get a photo of the back of the shop soon
Just realised this is where I saw the photo of the new renovation at the back. Alan beat me too it, but no photo of the front. There is a notice F;ats for rent.
