An outsider venturing here would fail to be impressed as it bears little difference to a billion little newsagents up and down the high streets of Britain but, for the most part, they're all equally brilliant. Where else can you burst in five minutes to closing time on a Christmas Eve demanding medium-slice bread and be answered with what you asked for, as opposed to a smack in the mouth? I'm just gutted I wasn't alive in 1905, when the building was used as a 'chronometer manufactory'. What the hell do either of those two words mean? Answers on a postcard.

Corner News is situated on the very busy Eaton Road, opposite the Alder Hey Childrens Hospital…read more It is a large airy shop with a massive range of products inside. They offer a huge variety of magazines suited to all ages and interestes. They have a big variety of soft drinks in large and small bottles and cans, ice creams, crisps, sandwiches, pasties, sweets and chocolates. They also offer a good range of groceries such as coffee, tea, tinned goods and bread which might not be as cheap as those from a supermarket, but are conveninent for the location. They also offer bill payment facilities. The shop is frequented by many school children as there are a few schools nearby, but as the shop is quite big you never feel intimidated or pushed out when several children are in there at once. The staff are quietly friendly and happy to help.

Low quality and overpriced. There are cheaper newsagents on this road. Avoid Corner News.read more

A not-for-profit organisation run by a workers co-operative, it's a welcoming environment with friendly staff committed to social change. As you'd expect from their window displays, the emphasis is firmly on books that inspire and empower people to make positive change to the world. There's a decent section of fiction along one wall of the shop but really, News From Nowhere is the place to go if you're looking for books on politics, activism, the environment, human rights, animal rights, peace, global equality, feminism, sexuality, gay, lesbian and queer culture, spirituality, Jewish diaspora, health and well being or world fiction. They also stock roots and world music CDs and have a notice-board advertising community events, meetings and demonstrations. In a world that's becoming more corporate and generic by the minute, News From Nowhere offers genuine and life-affirming food for thought.

The staff really helpful and knowledgeable about what they stock - which makes a change, as so many of the big chain bookshops don't have a clue. I recommend checking out the website as you can also order from there, but then you miss out on the dusty smell of the shop. It appeals a lot more to the average consumer now with a wider range of popular goods. There's all sorts of little pieces such as some funky postcards.

I wouldn't say they are exactly intellectual choices--let's face it, the kind of magazines you will find here are for people who sit in on Saturdays and eat crisps in front of the TV. But still ... You'll also find all the usual newspapers, cold drinks, sweets, chocolate, crisps, and more. There's not that much in the way of grocery items here. Staff seemed pretty nice when I went in.

Looking at the name of this newsagent, one could dream that it was owned by ex-Grange Hill,…read moreEastenders and The Bill actor Todd Carty and that he had retired to sleepy Maghull to live his remaining years after having had enough of the glitzy London lifestyle. In reality though, Carty's News is not owned by Mr. Carty, nor is it a shop dedicated solely to stories about him and his recent acting roles. Instead, Carty's News is your basic newsagent that offers a large selection of newspapers and magazines for your perusal, ensuring most publications are stocked here. They also sell the usual array of drinks and confectionary at competitive (if expensive) prices as well as stationary and 'pet goods', though those last two are in no way related to one another, thankfully. All in all, Carty's News is a pleasant enough newsagent that offers you everything you'd want in a newsagent without being too mind-blowing (but then again, what newsagents is?)

For a newsagents of this size, it does well to stock all the essentials you would expect a typical newsagents to have. In addition, they have a variety of Liverpool postcards and few items of memorabilia such as sketches of familiar faces all at reasonable prices. This is by far the tiniest newsagents I have been to but Aleef News is a smart and well presented shop where there is efficient service and hardly any queues. The only thing I would say, is that they don't have a lottery machine!

I always enjoy a newsagent more when they have a small selection of groceries as it can save you a trip further afield and this place does just that. You can pop in here grab a paper and some general household goods and head home having avoided the hassle of a trip to Asda ect. The service here is good and it epitomises the idea of a friendly neighbourhood shop keeper and this is a breath of fresh air in an area which can at times be quite unfriendly. The value here is not bad either meaning that a trip will not leave you out of pocket by any stretch of the imagination. On the whole this place is friendly, convenient and good value which is everything you need to create a good local newsagent.

As the previous reviewer mentioned, they do sell some grocery items which indeed makes it an ever more enticing newsagents. Another point that I would like to make in favour of this one is that there is a cash machine inside! I don't know about you, but sometimes I find it's a pain in the neck trying to find one when you are out and about.
