Next to the bus stop I believe was the Lozells Club.

I think so, I think it was later gutted by fire ?

Am I right in thinking that a pram used to be a common sight outside shops in those days ?

Most I know, prays were left outside. Maybe a store like Lewisis was different,

I believe so. There wasn't the room inside the local shops for a pram, the customers and the shopkeepers to serve inside, so prams did tend to be left on or near the shop front for a minute or two. Both shopkeepers and mother would keep an eye on the baby's pram (which was often under the watchful eye of a brother or sister as well), but to be honest 40+ years ago, it seemed safe enough, to do this, without too much worry.
