I think that the gadgy on the roof of the shelter is talking on his mobile phone Ray.

Dan, It is a common word in Newcastle and Gateshead, "Why aye ya bugger". Cheers, ray.Dan wrote:Ray
"Gadgy" from the Urban Dictionary- an old nightwatchman or grumpy old man.
Am I getting close? Never heard the word before.
Regards
Dan

St Andrews from Mildmay Road
It looks like Stanley Road was much narrower when the first photo was taken.
I've looked at the early maps, but none seem to have housing at the junction of Mildmay and Stanley Road.
From 1909 onwards it was always Johnson's Dyeworks on that corner.

Not sure if I'm posting in the right section LOL as it's the 'Adverts for local companies' section.
The old Bootle Times newspaper had a section called 'Down Your Street'.
'Fisher the Jewellers' shows as a top advert on this old page.
In the second piccy below I'm the chubby looking kid with the bowl head fringe, and next is my mum Marie holding my lil sis Janet and our awesome next door neighbour Auntie Kitty is on the left.
Piccy above are our neighbours Mrs M Brimage and her daughter Norma , holding one year old Stephen.
Croxteth Road, Bootle.

PS: the copy I have of this is an old photo copy from years ago. Looks like you have a better quality version there. Could you possibly email it to me through my profile?
I'll then replace the copy I have with yours in my original post minus the Worzel Gummidge Head changing bit LOL
