The shop on the corner, if I am not mistaken was "Fred Spooners Motorbike Shop" it has been refurbished now and I think is still empty.

Yes, the photographer would have been stood outside my local at that time, the Eagle & Child. The boys in blue were probably dealing with somebody inside !

I knew Joe Spooner well,it was his Dads shop.They lived in Warburton Hey road in Rainhill opposite the Labour club carpark.
The landlady in the Eagle would have been Mary Darlington.

Hi all:
My Grandma lived in Cambridge street, we used to walk from Rainhill every saturday to visit her, on the corner of Kemble Street opposite Spooners shop, was the BI Guild shop, to this day we dont know what it sold, all along Kemble on the left hand side was the BI of course, and you could look through gaps in the windows at workshops below, half way down was a works entrance one of the gate keepers was a lodger at my grandma's, Irish like her, Kemble street was one of the busiest streets in Prescot them days, we used to stand in King Street looking into the Station road entrance and watch all the Capstan Lathes churning out the copper wire, all this activity a stones throw from Kemble Street.
