I think you're right there, Dan. Something down that little alley was called "Amazon"

Amazon was a brand of bottled gas they sold

This brought back memories. Remember High Lewis camping very well, bought a bright orange frame tent from them at their Rainford display about 1977/78 and used to get all my camping equipment from them. If I remember correctly after this area was demolished for the new precinct they relocated to Widnes near the roundabout at the bottom of Lower House Lane and Moor lane south. Not sure if it still there as I tend to drive up the new bypass when going back to Prescot these days, rather than through Widnes. I may go this way next time.

Always remember the staff in there were really friendly and helpful.

Hi Denis.I agree they were great.They were the only shop to stock Blacks gear.I had a brilliant high pack rucksak and sleeping back that I bought there.I gave them away when I went to NZ in 1974.
