Two elderly woman flag each other down from either side of Park Road, wait for the Arriva 82 bus to pass, before crossing the road at the traffic lights and embracing.
The women, one pulling a shopping trolley, speak for several minutes before hugging again and continuing on their way. Two mums in their twenties walk side-by-side, pushing along prams holding their young children.
A man wearing a cap and tracksuit shouts hello to a friend inside a barber's shop, before jogging over to the Tesco Extra, weaving in between traffic. The afternoon sun reflects off the bonnets of the cars and buses using the road that connects south Liverpool and the city centre.
