Shop where people spend 'hours' has been open for 40 years

A shop where people spend "hours" inside has stood on Smithdown Road for more than 40 years.

Brian Jackson, originally from Toxteth but now lives in Allerton, owns and runs shop Allkinds which sells vinyl records, audio and sci-fi memorabilia. Many years ago, the now 61-year-old walked into the store where he helped former owner David Radcliffe with the running of the shop.

He is now the owner of Allkinds, which sits at number 145 directly opposite Toxteth Park Cemetery, after taking over from Mr Radcliffe after he died. Speaking to the ECHO, Brian said: "He was like a father to me, his name was Dave Radcliffe. He set the shop up in 1980. It didn't really become a record shop until 1981.
