Thanks for the info, Kingetter. Hazeleigh, that is very kind of you, thank you. Wish I could go and take a look there also.

You're welcome, and a lot closer than me

The Echo was around a long time ago I'm sure - will be bound to have loads of archived pics. Used to have lots on the Docks and the great Passenger Liners etc etc

Now I just looked it up - it says Daily Echo - same paper I expect, but never mind - here's the url -

Thanks for looking into that for me, Hazeleigh. I will definitely give them a ring and order them. Wish I could reciprocate but unfortunately I'm unable to get out and about. If I can be of any help in the way of online lookups - let me know!

Thanks for your message. Re. your enquiry about Jack Frodshoms motorcycle shop in Warrington, I had a little search and I found Warrington Library's instant enquiry messaging service and I enquired on your behalf about any info. and a photograph. They have just sent me an instant message asking where your local library is and the name of it because I think they are going to send the information directly there through an internal post system for you if they find this information. If you'd rather not tell me this information I can look up the internet link again and provide you with their site address instead.
