Xmas Passed

 I've just come upon this great photo on facebook local history site, of the toy department in Liverpool's Lewis's department store. It would be the mid to late seventies, judging by the Matchbox Cascade toy front right and the Dusty Bin toy next to it. Somewhere in this morass is probably the Dekkertoys space set too! Lewis's was one of the best toy departments in Liverpool and had huge window displays at xmas, probably six separate spaces, each with a distinct theme. I clearly recall the 1969 xmas display, full of Matt Mason and Billy Blastoff toys, supported by lots of japanese tin robots and rockets. Those were the days.
