Heathfield Road junction with Church Road
Looking down Heathfield Road. Church Road forms the triangular junction on the left, with 'The Shelter in the Middle of the Roundabout' within. The barbers on the right is also in the Beatles Song, but was Bioletti's back then. Penny Lane can be seen ahead, across the main road and going beyond the white building in the distance. The song isn't about Penny Lane itself, which was quite minor, but refers to that end of Allerton Road where the bus destination said Penny Lane. No buses went down the lane itself.

Bus at Penny Lane bus terminus - 1968
Route 99 was one of the first in Liverpool to be converted to one-person-operation, using Leyland Panthers with MCW bodywork. 1023 is one of these and was brand new at the time.
It is standing on Church Road outside the impressive Welsh Methodist Church. This was demolished around 2010, leaving just the entrance steps as a reminder. See https://goo.gl/maps/J1GuBwzyKwiJbPNA8 and https://goo.gl/maps/Jj5rmVC4NgXHgsGo8
This is one of a series of views featuring buses in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=137652761

Wavertree: 'The shelter in the middle of a roundabout'
Behind which a pretty nurse is selling poppies from a tray....
Anyway this structure was once the bus shelter and public conveniences in Smithdown Place at the north-eastern end of Penny Lane. It has since been converted into Sgt Pepper's Bistro, but was closed at the time of the photograph.
Comparing this image with Sue Adair's from August 2005 Image it is evident that the circular glass fronted first floor room has been added since.
A review of Street View images shows that it was not present in October 2012 but largely complete by July 2015.

A shelter in the middle of a roundabout, 1988
As featured in the song "Penny Lane", this was one of the stops on a Beatles Heritage Coach Tour. The bank in the background is believed to be that of "the banker" mentioned in the song.
