Here's another long gone shop. This was the main shop of the Birkenhead Co-operative Society in Grange Rd. It was called Tudor House. The newer looking part on the right is where TKmaxx is now, corner of St.John St.

Who remembers Tandy which then became Radio Shack, I know there was one in Liscard where Carphone Warehouse is now.
It all makes perfect sense expressed in dollars and cents ,pound shillings and pence

Carphone Warehouse purchased most of the Tandy store's when Radio Shack ditched the brand in 2000.

Chris, is Bernards the one on the corner opposite the old post office (now moved to Grange Road)? If so it's still there.
I have these pictures of Oxton Road, but I have no idea which pub you mean.
Hope these help bring back memories
Joe; my apologies. Bernards
is opposite where the Post Office used to be. Trouble is, when I remember it, that was Morton's bookshop & the Post Office was further down, nearly at Charing Cross. The street with Bernard's on the corner is Barton St., now turned into a car park with Windsor St. which is the next one uphill, with the pub on the corner.
