Merseyside is known for its characters and the community supporting local businesses wherever they can.
But as the decades have gone on, certain trades have disappeared from our streets or have completely adapted to the way we live now. From visits from the rag-and-bone man to running out with pocket money to catch the lemonade van, there are a lot of things we don't really see anymore and even miss in the region.
Generations ago, a lot of the roles were occupied by predominantly men and today, some are completely unknown or unheard of by younger people in Merseyside. Some professions have died out or are only remembered by certain age groups, whereas others have changed with the times and are even looking to be revived.
