Matalan was a car showroom and bromborough paints was peters the builders next to the po. The po was owned by a right grumpy old woman who had the chemist by the chippy and cafe.
... and before that it was "Payless" d.i.y., who used to open on Sundays and had a sign on the door saying that they were open for the sale of helicopter and aircraft parts only (this was when Sunday trading laws only allowed the sale of certain items - it was legal to sell porn, but illegal to sell bibles).
