A much-loved record shop that has been run by four generations of the same family has had "a place in history" in Liverpool for over 70 years.
Located on West Derby Road in Tuebrook, The Musical Box record shop dates back to the 1947 and first sold toys and LPs to customers before it became the business the city knows and loves today. Thought to be Liverpool's oldest surviving record shop, the business has seen the life and the area change around it through the decades.
Diane Cain, 85, grew up in the Lake District until she was 12, as her dad worked at the Sunderland Flying Boat factory. The shop was originally owned by Diane Cain's uncle Jack, but when the family returned to Liverpool, Diane's mother, Dorothy, later bought the Tuebrook shop.
