    Lovely to view these old pics of Birkenhead they bring back fond memorys of my childhood and thanks for posting them jayne. I was born and raised at Bidston Hall farm that my family ran for many decades and there were three working dairy farms in the village up until 1966, when sadly the land was compulsory purchased by the council to build the now Ford estate..Fond memorys indeed..

    Had an aunt and uncle who lived in Livingstone Street after the war visited them many times in the 60's , another uncle lived around the corner in Cleveland Street, reminds me of the scene in The Cruel Sea when Compass Rose returns to the Mersey after an air raid on Liverpool and Birkenhead. Thanks for sharing.

    Hi Jayne, I really love your videos and the fantastic 'memory jerk' they provide. Do you by any chance have any photos of Beaconsfield Road in Tranmere, off Union Street or of Mersey Road heading toward Rock Park? I was born in Beaconsfield Road, my favourite Auntie lived in Merseyside Road and my Grandmother's house was 26 Delta Road by Rock Park. Its still there now although the road was split by the bypass. I'm retired in the Cotswolds and a long way from those old places now. Keep up the good work Jayne, much respect for your work! David

    Thank you so much for these videos Jayne they are a great source of memories for me and so many others. Although born in Beaconsfield Road, off Union Street in Tranmere, I now live in the Cotswolds. My father worked on Birkenhead Docks, my brother in Cammel Lairds, and my uncle Jim worked as a tanner in the British Leather Works. Mum was born in Delta Road, a few yards from the Mersey, and Dad was born in Jackson Street. Please keep them coming, and if you have any of Beaconsfield Road and the railway that ran beside it, please let me know. Keep up the good work! Regards, David
