Memories from Robert Lloyd – Owen Owen Warehouse, Irlam Road, Bootle, LiverpoolÂ
Thanks to Robert Lloyd for sending in these photographs of himself with the Owen Owen delivery van from his time working at the Irlam Road warehouse in Bootle during the 1980’s. We have so many photographs from the shop floors it’s easy to overlook the other parts of the operation – the warehouses and delivery service. If anyone else has any photos from their time working in the warehouses or on the road we’d love to hear from you. The Irlam Road site in Bootle is now owned by Sefton MBC and is a recycling centre.
Also pictured is an ashtray produced in 1968 to commemorate 100 years of pleasant shopping in the Owen Owen stores. This was given to Robert by a friend who discovered it while clearing out his late mothers flat. He passed it onto Robert knowing his connection with Owen Owen. If anyone has any Owen Owen merchandise in their cupboards please do send us some photographs.
