CLEVELEYS Road resident and LookBack correspondent Ada Price brought in this photograph of a Southport Co-op but has no idea where or when it was taken.
Mrs Price inherited the image from a neighbour with an interest in postcards more than 15 years ago but hasn’t managed to find out anything since.
She said: “I know nothing at all.
“I don’t know where it is or anything.
“I thought it might be Bispham Road because of the buildings but the people who gave it to us lived on Cleveleys Road, Churchtown so it could be anywhere around Marshside.”
The photograph shows four proud custodians of the Southport Co-Operative Society outside a shop which is packed to the rafters with tins, jars, biscuits and chocolate.
A board to the side advertises ‘Shopping Week’ and talks of a ‘special display’ to mark the occasion.
But do you know when it dates from?
Ironically Mrs Price is a retired Co-op worker, she added: “It does look Victorian but I don’t know because I’m not that old!”

Mrs Vera Johnson (nee Rimmer) called to say she thought this photograph shows a shop at number 16 Shellfield Road.
The 93 year old told LookBack: "I was born in Shellfield Road in 1914. We used to go to that shop for our groceries and there was a butcher's shop attached to it."
