My auntie worked in the cafe on the right hand side as you walked towards it about 30 years ago or so, i was alright for free pies and tea. The bloke that owned the cafe was called Ricky and he owned a restaurant next to the abc cinema, Argyle St, Market st side. Does anyone remember the name of that restaurant. I think it was Italian sounding.

The restaurant next to the ABC was Alfresco, and is now the Brass Balance. (It may have been something else inbetween).

A great shot pablo. I guess it must have been taken from the roof of Woodside Station. A sea of Daimlers, Guys and Leylands. What a great bus fleet Birkenhead had! The threatening sky sets the scene.

Is that the 70A, I used to get that regularly, alighting at the Pelican where the pints were lined up.

Did you notice my bus talk there?
