More about this scene

It is obviously a quiet time of day in this Cheshire village. The 'School' sign on the left was redundant in 1955, because the establishment had already closed; the children had been moved to a new establishment in Sandham Grove, Heswall. The building to the right of the Scott K3 telephone kiosk is probably the village post office.

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

The building on the right with the telephone box outside was the post office and store run by a lady called Mrs Locker. I used to deliver the Liverpool Echo to the Fox and hounds and most of the houses in the village. I still try and visit the Fox and Hounds at least once a year and it's nice to see that the village hasn't changed at all in the intervening years except for the amount of traffic.
