More about this scene

We are looking along Neston Road from outside Christ Church, with the entrance to the Green Lantern café on the left. Aston's shop (right) still trades under the same name, but it is now Aston's Tea Rooms.

Sparked a Memory for you?

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

Owned by my grandmother , Mary Wilkinson and my aunt Brenda, enjoyed many great times there as a child.
This was owned by a Mother and Daughter; the daughter is still alive and lives next to my sister on Wallcroft, off Hadlow Road. I remember a cafe as you walked in right in front of the door, and on the right was a little tuck shop where you could get sweets. It was like going back the 18th century. I cannot remember their names, I will have to call my sister to ask her. Wonderful times. My father and myself and my sisters were all born in Willaston. My father was John Thomas Sumner.
This is Hadlow Road, looking towards the village over the old railway line.
