Superb pics of the old town. I think the York became the Labour Club.

I remember the outside market. The car park was for Asda, it was a really ugly building with pillars, etc, and the flyover was just up the road. There were always kids wanting to take your trolley back for the 20p, although I was only about 10 then.

Just when I got used to calling Allansons Beatties I have only just realised it is now House of Fraser

2nd pic
Is this part of House of Fraser or is it the front part of the cafe/restaurant whose entrance is next to the taxi place besides Beatties carpark opposite ZU/Stairways
Not sure if its called the Scouse Kitchen
