The Kelly's Street Directory of Liverpool shows that the Magnet Supply Stores (Liverpool) Ltd, (described as a grocers), is listed between 1958 and 1966 at 179 Wavertree Road. It was situated between Wynne Street and Scourfield Street.
The shop sold toys, fancy goods, greetings cards and various other things, we had a Dinky Toys franchise and were one of the first shops in Liverpool to sell Action Man.
It was around 1967 or so that a bus strike caused a lot of the Wavertree Road shops to suffer and eventually, customers were lost and the business was closed.
