Wallasey, Capitol Roundabout c.1960

More about this scene

This roundabout has always been a very busy spot. Here we see it from Wallasey Road looking up what has always been known as Liscard Village, even though it is a road. This captures a time when everyone shopped on his or her local high street, and out-of-town shopping was unheard of. Our photographer has his back to the ABC Carlton Cinema, which stood at this junction.

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

My Wedding reception was in the rooms above the hotel by Martins Bank on 22 September 1956.
I remember going there with all my mates, and the big tree on round about at Christmas and the toilets that were underground on the roundabout and the bus that went thought not the one way it is now good old days
I remember passing this roundabout time after time while being dragged around Liscard shopping with my mum. I also remember when it was being demolished and I am sure that there was an old Victorian public toilet found underneath - am I right?
