….when governments and councils don’t invest in public services, it’s what you get. Not sure if any park has a ‘cocky watchman’ anymore but they helped keep the place respectable. Cutting cost just means cutting standards.

Exterior view of the Cousins Confectionery factory at Woodend Avenue in Speke. January 23, 1981 -

The brothers opened the first in-store bakeries, sandwich services and self-service restaurants. Many will remember also spotting Cousins shops in Walton Vale, Penny Lane, Scotland Road, Stanley Road in Bootle and Hillside Avenue in Huyton.
Over the years, users on online blogs have said Cousins were "famous for their strawberry tarts". Some said it was considered to be a rival to Sayers and one person said they remember kids climbing up the wall at the back of the Speke factory where workers would give them "mashed and broken cakes".
