LIFF ROAD STORES - EARLY 70'S

Another corner shop that was on the go in the 70's was Liff Road Stores, a grocers on the corner of Stevenson Street and Liff road.

It's not just the shop that has closed down now, it's the entire chunk of this corner area that has completely disappeared.
In it's day though, as you can see on the door, it was a Green Shield Stamp shop.
When the locals popped in for a pint of milk, there may be a chance they ended up with the same brand as the one in the other photo - John Kerr of Balfield Dairy in Clepington Road.
Shop photo is from the early 70's.
Milk photo is from Bridie.

THE WHIP INN IN THE 60'S

The Whip Inn in Liff Road is still on the go, but it doesn't look like the image in the photo anymore.
The main part of the building is the same, but gone are those small porthole windows on the side, making way for an extension to the pub.
It being an old coach inn, it used to be decorated with old horse collars, horse brasses, old rustic accessories, that kind of thing.
The photo, however, dates from the groovy late 60's and I reckon they missed a good opportunity to keep up with the times. Here's what I think they should have done back then.
Making use of the porthole windows design, they ought to have painted the outside bright yellow, renamed it the Yellow Pubmarine, and had a Beatles theme inside.
Here's what could have been on the Fab 4 jukebox...
Eleanor Whisky - Get Becks - Lady MaVodka - Fool On The Pils - Bass In The USSR - Ale You Need Is Love - Let It Beer - Magical Pissedery Tour - Hey Booze - O-V-D, Ob-La-Da - Here Comes The Rum - Penny Wine - While My Guinness Gently Weeps - All Hungover Now - Beer Prudence - I Am The Watney's - With A Little Help From My Pints...!!!!
Then once you've had a touch of Dutch courage, you could nip over and chat up Stella McCartney!
Below is my own psychedelic impression of the concept they missed out on!
