I'm after a picture of an old bake house in the Churchtown district of Southport, for an article I'm writing on the Eagle comic (Dan Dare et al).

Here's the location:

That little metal shed on the side of the building happens to be where one of the most famous comics in the world was first created. I'm planning to go and get a shot myself when I can, but if someone here lives in the area they'd save me a bob or two. The image would eventually appear in Wikipedia and would be published under a free commons licence.

I’m up the road in Formby, I don’t mind popping along and taking some pics for you. Will have a look tomorrow. Are you after anything specific or just a snap?

Just a shot that shows the building in general really. Something people can look at and go "ah, so they made one of the most famous comics of all time in a rickety tin shed" smile

The article (as yet not even close to completion) is here:

There's another image of it here:

...but I can't use that picture as it isn't under a creative commons licence.
