Thanks for the replies, I completely forgot about Wyburn's!
As for Dacre Hill, I reckon you'll find old sepia photos with the Man Wah on it!!

I remember a murder took place in the doorway by the old printers in the early 70's, someone was stabbed to death. I was brought up in Rock ferry and remember going into the chandlers getting Blue paraffin from the machine inside, loved the smell of that place.
I remember that murder,it was a chap named Randy something,he was involved in an argument with a couple in the Lord Napier.If memory serves,they had a second hand (junk) shop.Anyway, they went looking for him,he armed with a shotgun she with a swordstick and he ended up bleeding to death on his doorstep.

There are two other topics on Old Chester Road on Wiki, and I know they both contain photographs and comments that may be of use to you, assuming that you haven't seen them already.

I'm fairly sure that this is the old Roberts Moore Nicholas Jones building, now Simple Credit. ![[Linked Image]](http://i978.photobucket.com/albums/ae266/TheDr-UK/6e5f6412.jpg) Definitely is, the old Woolworths is there, when they were F W Woolworth

The shop on the corner of Old Chester Road and St Paul's Road was not Sturlas but was in fact a similar type of shop called Rostences'
