Thanks Nightwalker. It's just that I have a birth certificate fron 1870's with place of birth as Pear Tree Cottages,Liscard. It's always been a puzzle to me, so you have clarified that for me now. Very grateful.

I think it was called Toners.


I seem to remember Toners being further along Seaview Road, past where Lauries is now

Yes , he retired sometime in the mid '70's , then there was 'Wirral Philatelic Co.' on Brighton Street , opposite the municiple building , that closed early '80's , then there was another stamp shop on King Street for a couple of years in the mid '70's .

If the birth certificate says Pear Tree Cottages in the 1870s, it may not refer to Peartree Grove at all. There was at that time a pair of cottages called Pear Tree Cottages at the end of Rake Lane (the bit now named Liscard Village) roughly where the gap is giving access to the carpark between Roseby's/Bensons and Spring Gardens, the greengrocers, next door.

Yeah, pretty sure it was where the tattoo shop is now. Anyone know when it closed? Used to love looking around in there when I was a child.
