That looks very much like Church street.

Looks like there may have been a shop on the left, seeing the man in his apron.
The lack of 'street furniture' , rubbish & litter is striking.

Helen of Troy, the shop on the left is still there. It's called The Copper Tap Bistro.

John Noaks you have your bearings wrong the Copper tap is on the opposite corner the grocers shop was Sharrock and Tickle in the fifties Moore road is correct Church Street is on the right Sefton road on the left and St James road behind the photographer

oh oh, right on Dave, you've certainly put Noakes nose out of joint there - and he doesn't like it when he's proved wrong, so much so that he's now nit picking and having a rant at Ron on the other Orrell photo.

Great photos Ron, showing life as it was.

Spot on Dave.
Sharrock and Tickles old shop was an estate agents last time I was up there.
I used to live in the terrace on the right just past the two houses with steps.
