By the early 1960s, supermarkets were bringing huge changes to the way we carried out our weekly shopping.
No longer having to trek around going from shop to shop, customers could get everything under one roof. And instead of asking staff behind counters to fetch things, customers could serve themselves by grabbing items from shelves.
On Merseyside, many will remember visiting their first supermarket and for one generation that supermarket was Lennon's. The Lennon's empire began in 1900 when Mr Frank Lennon established his grocery and provisions businesses in St Helens and until the early 1950s, the family ran a small group of traditional-style grocery shops.
