I found these pictures of Jacobs Biscuits from Aintree on the Bootle History Forum.
A Leyland and an Albion that I understand is from The Digital Repository Of Ireland.Ray Smyth.
What went on top Ray, do you know?
(I’m guessing)…empty biscuit tins, Back in the day biscuits came in tins (about 1 ft. square), they were then weighed out and put into paper bags for the customer. I remember going with my mother to the local Co-oP, she would buy 1 lb. of broken biscuits.
That’s not a joke, just after the war we were lucky to get broken biscuits. I think (but I’m not sure) that at the time they were one of the very few things that were not rationed, everything else was, clothes/food/fuel etc 
TV ?..no chance, just a small wireless/radio, or my dad playing the piano for us. Eventually he got so fed up with “dad, play the piano for us”…he chopped it up…no more piano
