Hi chris7777
We did have a shop in Liverpool.
I used to go to C&A I loved it in there. I bought a couple of 2 piece suits; very classy they were too. I bought one for a friends Wedding and the other for work.
I remember the shoe shops also and Tickles; oh happy days lol.

The co-op department store in Liscard where McDonalds is now.
We used to go up and down in the lift until the security guard told us off!
Above it was a large room that was used for parties and a club called Woodland Folk (I think0.I remember doing country dancing and singing folk songs. Happy Days!

I well remember the Co-op and the lift! Also the top floor (with the window that ran floor to ceiling); that was where Santa's grotto was for at least a couple of years.

Woodland Folk - wasn't in it myself but had a few friends who were (early 70s). Funny, was only thinking about that the other day!
