Some members will remember this shop as Ada Burns' shop.

When Sefton Road was renumbered, it changed from 31 to 43.

Mrs Burns stood in the shop doorway, whom I used to see when passing on the bus to Ford.

I bet Esther was very proud of her shop display; she had it ready for the photographer.

Love those vintage enamel advertising signs.

Her window was never as well decked out as that one! The way the glass was, we could all do our 'Harry Worth' impressions perfectly.
As Norma says, big table back right for teas and toast and doorstep bacon butties. Outside, the horses also having a break and munching hay from their nosebags.
