More about this scene
This is a wonderful piece of social history from the 1950s caught on film. Liverpool Road was a long road running from Church Street, Eccles to the airport out at Barton. For much of its length it was all shops, and every kind of shop under the sun was to be found along this road. There were pork butchers', egg shops, pawn shops, bric-a-brac and second-hand shops, and of course a public house on nearly every corner. Sir John Moore, the pools tycoon, who built the Littlewoods empire, was born in a pub on Liverpool Road.
