THE MUSICAL BOX HAS BEEN IN SAME FAMILY FOR 78 YEARS

Beatles' record shop is officially England's oldest

A LIVERPOOL record shop has officially been recognised as the oldest independent store of its kind in the country.

The Musical Box, on West Derby Road in Tuebrook, a cornerstone for the city's music scene for the last 78 years, has remained in the hands of the same family for four generations.

The legacy of the shop and its roots in the city have made it a popular destination for both local people and tourists alike over the years. The shop's reputation extends beyond the city, particularly due to its connection to The Beatles during their formative years.

The shop was originally owned by Diane Cain's uncle Jack Lewis, but when the family returned to Liverpool, Diane's mother, Dorothy, later bought the Tuebrook shop.
