Forums Forums Wirral History : Chasing the Past Wirral Now and Then Old Work Places

My first job I had was in a grocers shop in Market street that was called Stranaghan And Nixons would like to get a photo of this I use to work on the order bike with a big basket it in front of it and I use to make deliveries on it I felt like the hovis kid.

What year was this Capernicus?

I was 8 at the time this would be 1957 my school at that time was Trinity Street Primary School but I kept going there till I was about thirteen and in my secondary School Hamilton Secondary Modern School or Hemmie for short.

It was 1964-1966 It was a shop that sold provisions like cheese cooked meats bacon sausage it had a cellar where all the stuff was stored it was about three quarters of the way up on the left. They also had a order bike which I used to do deliveries.

I had a relative that worked at Viota in Bromborough now Cereal Partners I think. There must be some picturs or stories out there???
