One of Liverpool's oldest barber shops has been plagued by years of building works which its owner claims is impacting his business.
Runyon's barbershop, which was previously based in the India Buildings in Liverpool city centre, has since moved to nearby Drury Lane.
But ongoing developments both inside the India Buildings and in the surrounding area have left owner Paul Runyon, 61, faced with seemingly endless building works.
The city centre business has been in operation since 1979 and has continued to serve its loyal customers despite enormous changes around it.
Paul recently shared a tweet with his customers informing them he is still open, despite the building works in the area.
His tweet caught the attention of radio legend Pete Price, who replied to say: "We really need to support Paul’s 'one man business'.
"He’s had building works around his barber shop for years! How he’s survived God only knows?! One step forward, two back.
"Please go and get your hair cut. Please support - all the office workers around the area!"

After making it through lockdown and with so much changing around his shop, Paul said he's never faced a challenge like the pandemic in all his years of trading.
He said: "Since we've been back we're about 70% down, we're operating on 30% of business. That's just the way it is, there's no office workers around.
"And we can't get them back at the moment, they're my customers."
First opening in North John Street, Runyon's has occupied a number of sites - but Paul says the works around his business have made things difficult for him in recent years.
He said: "It's been terrible really. You can't drive past the shop now because there's another development opposite me.
"And they've got the road blocked off at one end. That's had a massive effect.
"We had two years of being in a tunnel basically, there was literally a walk-way through."
He added: "They've taken floors out above me. I couldn't talk on the phone, I couldn't talk to customers.
"But they can't do anything about it, they have to do this work and they can't do it in the evenings because there's residents nearby.
"But we just put up with it. The three shops on the outside have put up with an awful lot really.
"You have to accept it and there's no way around it, so you do accept it.
"But people knew they could get to me and that wasn't too bad. People knew they could get to the shop, and fortunately because I've got loyal customers they could get to me.
"I just think it's just the way it is in town, with all these developments."
The business has weathered huge changes in the city centre, with the rise of new offices, apartments and businesses.
Like many parts of the country, Liverpool is getting used to seeing cranes across its skyline as new ventures take off in the city centre.
Paul added: "I mean it's part of development and progressing I suppose."
He added: "The office situation I think has changed probably forever [because of the pandemic]. Maybe it was inevitable, maybe it was coming."
Paul said his clientele primarily comes from nearby office workers - but as the coronavirus crisis sent millions of office workers in the UK home to work, and salons and barbers closed, Paul said this, coupled with building works, has meant he's seen fewer customers.
He said: "[We had] six months of virtually no trade, with 15 weeks of lockdown. So many people now aren't coming into town.
"It's quiet all day at the moment, there's not a lot of action in town with the latest Covid situation. Everyone's sort of taken a step back a bit, I think."
Despite the footfall in town falling and challenges with building work, Paul said the business is still open for customers.
He said he would say to clients: "Just keep coming. I'm open and unless there's another permanent lockdown, I will stay open. There's only me so it's easy to cordon everything off, I wear a mask.
"I'd just want to say keep coming and getting your hair cut. Stop cutting it at home and letting your wife have a go, I've seen some terrible hair cuts."
