Seeing the photo of the Kardomah reminds when I was a kid it, and Coopers, was where posh people went.

I went in to Coopers once with my dad who bought a quarter of ham. ;) and that was it.

The smell of ground coffee still brings back memories of that visit.

Being ex police myself I made a few enquiries about this picture. It is PC Bob Barlow. His number whilst City of Liverpool Police was 63 B, changing to 1253 when it became Merseyside Police. He retired at Lower lane. His son was also in the job but now retired.

We were the Bouquet's who lived in a council house but my dad had been in the Navy and sampled foreign food.

He took me for my first Chinese meal in the Kong Nam in Lord Street when I was eleven.

Kids now are used to eating out from an early age, and good luck to them, but in the sixties it was a big deal.

Gonna be before Feb 1971 with the 5D bit in the first pic isn't it?  So split the middle, 1970?

He took me for my first Chinese meal in the Kong Nam in Lord Street when I was eleven.

Kids now are used to eating out from an early age, and good luck to them, but in the sixties it was a big deal.

For me in the 70's it was still a big deal too. My Dad took up Karate when he was 24, so that would be about 1971 and they'd go to china town to eat, which got my Dad into chinese food. I think I'd be about 8 or 9 the first time I ate Chinese and that was in a restaurant on Nelson Street. I seem to remember ducks and stuff hanging in the window. We also used to go to the Golden Phoenix and my Mum used to take us to one after they divorced, so that would be 1981, 82. I can't remember the name, I think it was the something Pearl, it was on Ranelagh Street, opposite Central above the shops.

Like you say, it seems to be expected that kids will eat out these days. Besides eating in pubs, my kids have been for Chinese, Italian, Greek (UK and on Zante), Turkish and Spanish in Spain and Tenerife.

....1967 i believe is the year the foto (standing by his car) was taken.

I think that's likely.

I thought the first picture to be around the mid 60's (that B reg MGB dates it to '64 or later)

The second is likely slightly later, that looks like a 1300 estate parked just in front of the house with scaffolding. they came out in '66, but if you look closely the street lights have changed. In the first photo, the lights are still strung from cables over the road from I think when the tramlines ran past there, so it's got to be a few years later, maybe 68-69.

The car lot used to be just an open space, I think the first showroom wasn't built until the mid 60's, and for a short while in the early 60's, I remember that house with the scaffolding held Joe's (Georgeson) office, probably while the first showroom was being constructed.

The third picture has a Cortina Estate mk3, they only came out in late '70 so it must be into the 70's.

I remember Georgesons quite well, I might have mentioned it years back in the Old Arse thread.

My Dad was chummy with Joe (who from recollection seemed to chain smoke big cigars), I'm not sure but they may have known each other as teenagers around Anfield before the war, and quite often on the way to my Nans in Kemlyn road in the late 50's and into the early 60's, my Dad would stop at Georgesons and have a chat with Joe while I watched things like the tankers filling up the pumps or had a sit in some of the cars on the forecourt pretending to drive, or one exciting day around 62-63, watching a circus parade go past, elephants, caged lions, clowns, the works (insert jokes about Everton here..   ;)  ).

Joe had a brother (named Peter I think) who sometimes was there and if I'm not mistaken Peter(?) was the Dad of Tom Georgeson the actor (Boys from the Black Stuff and other things).

Joe lived on Town Row near the Village, went to his house as a kid a few times, his wife was always really nice to us kids giving us our first taste of expensive continental chocolate one Christmas, something my Mum could never have afforded.

I think Peter lived Haymans Green way, certainly remember I think it was Tom (though it might have been another Georgeson son, it's a long time ago now) in the mid 60's knocking around West Derby village always dressed in the latest gear and being one of the first people around town with long hair.

I used to deliver papers to 2 of them big houses in the second picture 12 and 16 breck road even though a map calls it townsend avenue , there was probably similar houses on were georgesons stood possibly bombed in the war , the houses on that block have all gone now as georgesons covers all that

 My dad knew georgeson as well and when we moved to croxteth park my dad used to say he would  see him riding horses there now and then . I started going the match in the early 70s in the main stand with tickets my dad would get off another garage owner who had his garage on Lorenzo drive by were Sayers stood .

And then there was Tom Wolfendens garage on priory road , he was known locally as TOM2 as that was his plate on his cars , it was an esso garage so in 1970 you'd hang out there trying to bum the esso world cup silver coins for your collection .

I'd forgotten that, yes, he went riding.

I have a photo somewhere of a horse box he donated to Cardinal Godfrey school (Anfield) in 1961 or so to be used as a school minibus type transport.

My Dad and a few other Teachers there converted it, put seats and windows in it, and even took it  over to France on school trips. Luxury...

I'm not sure about Georgesons having being a bomb site, I had to check on the Echo bomb map and while there's a few impacts around there, there's none at that exact spot, though it's possibly the Echo is wrong (nothing unusual about that).

I think Richie or Tsar put a link up a few years ago with a much better and accurate bomb impact map, I can't find the link at the moment, but perhaps it's on that.

Your Dad was a teacher in Gardinal Godfrey? I went there in 1971. Loved that school.We sure needed transport as we didn't even have a school playing field. We had to board transport to West Derby for footy etc!

Not a map, but I did find this chronological list on the Merseyside Fire and Rescue website. There is one mention of 2 badly damaged trams on Priory Road, an Ammunition  train set on fire in Breck Road sidings and 17 houses damaged on Townsend Ave, sadly it doesn't give which bit and google maps does have that bit of road outside Georgesons as Townsend Ave

It's really weird that Townsend avenue bit , as it's Townsend lane all the way to broadway then it becomes Townsend avenue . I can strangely remember the two house I delivered too and they were 12 n 16 breck road and I'd never heard of that little stretch called Townsend avenue before until l looked on google maps . There is a stressing on the corner house of Walton breck road and breck road but google havent covered it so will have a look tomorrow after the maych when I leave the cabbage

Not sure if this is the proper place for this - could have maybe been planted in a few other threads - but the BBC have done a little series about a particular house and its history. It begins next week (Thurs 4 Jan).

Unless I'm mistaken, Id swear that's Heathfield on Tower Hill that and If I'm right its Gerrys Van - Gerry was from Southdene. I'd say its late 80's as the van was in Ravenscroft from about 1981/82 and was still there after we moved out in 87.
