….London Rd, that Owen Owen became the TJ Hughes site;

My mum worked there when it was Owen Owen. She was in the cash office, if you remember the system where the cashier would put the money and paperwork in a pneumatic system and send it off , it would then come back with your change - that was her job. In a neat symmetry, I don’t remember her working ( I was adopted in 1960 and my brother in 1963) but in the late 70s/early 80s she got a part time job back there in the offices. I think my Auntie Joan being an office manager helped

And Horne Bros. on Lord st as I waffled about a couple of pages ago. When the now demolished Royal Liverpool Hospital opened in 1978 ( I started there in 1979) the X-ray department had the same system for sending X-rays up to the wards, I never saw it in action.

…I lived relatively local but I only remember it being TJ Hughes. If it’s the same system, I remember the old Army and Navy Stores putting monies in a metal container that zipped through piping and then came back with change.

They had this system in the Garston Co-Op in the 50s early 60s

I started work in the GPO in Dublin in 1978 I worked on the telegraph counter where members of the public would write out a telegram and give it to me. I counted the number of words, charged them, and then put the telegrams into a container and then into a pneumatic tube which carried the telegram to the telegraph office.
