A quick question, was the section of Hamilton Square that is the town hall an after thought when it was designed and the building materials that would of been used to continue the buildings all the way round, that fill the rest of the square, have been built elsewhere. Where they built on park road near Radnor place or devonshire road near slatey road. If you go on street view you will see what I mean???

Can someone tell me if what just happened to me and my girlfreind today is legal. We got on the train at wallasey village and got off at Birkenhed North, (one stop), we bought saveaways a few days ago ready to use whilst the car is off the road, the baby kicked off and whilst rumaging around for his bottle and dummy we mislayed the saveaways, the clippys came and we couldnt find the tickets, I explained thinking they would just make me pay for the one stop again but they issued us with a £20 fine each! then demanded the fair for the one stop journey I went to walk away and the fella stood im my way and pushed me back, i told him that if he put a hand on me again i would defend myself he squqred right up to me and i told him to get out of my personal space which after an eye to eye stand off for a few second and my worried girlfreind trying to calm the situation down he stepped back. He told me that HE HAD THE POWER TO STOP ME LEAVING THE STATION USING FORCE IF NECESSARY if I didnt pay, surly this cant be right, and i would appreciate any advice.

Hi,
My grandad was Harry Gill who was the first person to the german plane when it was shot down in Bromborough.
My family gave the picture that we had to the museum and I was wondering if anyone has a copy of this picture as I was only 3 years old when my Grandad passed away but would love to have a copy.
Many thanks

Hey guys
In my workplace management have decided to put up on the notice board with everybodys names and how many days off they have had since being with the company.
It also has branson hicks score or something. Basically if you have one day off it's worse that having 3 days off all together so your score goes up and makes you look bad.
Now this notice hours is used by all kinds of other staff that don't work for us. Are they allowed to display this information like this?

What a great garage. I worked there in the 60's. The real McCoy, complete with its own petrol pumps, car salesroom, spare parts dept. and a team of mechanics, panel beaters and paint sprayers, each tradesman had his own apprentice.
They don't make 'em like that any more.

Crowds flock to Hoylake lifeboat station's open day
Thousands of people have attended a lifeboat station open day on the Wirral, in aid of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI).
Hoylake RNLI lifeboat station hosted the event on Bank Holiday Monday.
Visitors were able to explore Hoylake's lifeboat, Lady of Hilbre, watch various aeroplane displays and enjoy entertainment along the promenade.
Organisers said they hoped to have raised about £20,000 to go towards a new lifeboat.
The Lady of Hilbre is 20 years old.
Hoylake's lifeboat station was founded in 1803, making it one of the oldest in the country.
It moved to its current building in 2008.

Continuing the series into Shopping In Wallasey
Wallasey Road, running from Liscard Town Centre to St. Hilary Brow, was originally known as 'Liscard and Wallasey Road'.
Looking at shops in the post war years of the late 1940s from the Liscard end began with Burton Montague Ltd, the tailors, George Lunt & Sons, the bakers, who have traded in Liscard since the 1920s. Next door, on the corner of Conway Street, was the pawnbrokers, Isaac Bellwood, who took over from Crane's Pawnbrokers after the First World War. Behind the Merseyside and North Wales Electricity Board showrooms was a children's playground sited off St. Alban's Terrace. At No. 19 was the City Funeral Furnishers run by Samuel Pritchard & Sons. Thomas Tickle was the ladies outfitters at No. 21 and Thelma's Cafe was next door. On the corner of St. Alban's Road was the 'Castle Hotel;' where Mrs Edith McQuone was the landlady. The public house was often called 'The Garden Inn' on account of the little gardens that were close by.
On the opposite corner of St. Alban's Road was Lobster's Pet Cafe which later became the Nat West Bank. For many years Percy Bailey had a shop at No.37 and was continued on by Mrs Clarrisa Bailey as a stationery business. The Catholics could buy Missal or a set of Rosary Beads at the shop. Other shops included Kwong Tong Laundry, which in the 1930s was Soo Wong Laundry and next door was Frank Gibson, the grocer, who extended the shop to No.53.
'The Boot Inn' existed in Elizabethan times. Originally it was a small whitewashed cottage, which stood on the rough road leading to Wallasey Village. This was knocked down and a two-storey building was erected in its place. Mr. Stephen was the landlord at one time and Bill Cash had the public house during the First World War, then George Wildgoose took over licence in the 1920s.
With the increase of traffic the road formed a sort of bottle-neck and the local authority suggested road widening and so a new 'Boot Inn' was built and in 1925 the old one was demolished.
There were a few more shops along Wallasey Road to Torrington Road and Belvidere Road junction which included Crompton & Jones Estate Agents and Challoner's Tobacconist. In the 1920s Joe Collins, the Liverpool Billiard Champion, had the Wallasey Billiard Saloon, at 93a, which was approached down a side entry. There were nine tables and many good players use to visit the saloon from time to time to play matches.
Further along the road was Wood's the Butcher, and among other shops was Mr. Thomas, the chemist (later Mr. Ambrose and Irwin's the grocers on the corner of Torrington Road where Mr. Arthur Grosvenor was the manager.
On the right hand side of the road, starting at the old 'Wellington Hotel', the original public house was built in the 1800's and was a popular meeting place for the locals. It had an "L" shaped bar and Harry Liversage was the landlord in the post war years after the Second World War. Due to road widening a plot next to the Wellington Pub on the Seaview Road side was purchased as the site for a replacement, the foundations of which were laid in June 1936. The new hotel and Coronation Buildings were built in 1937. Originally there was a single-storey thatched cottage next to the public house, followed by a two-storey cottage
Sam Pritchard & Son
One of the most interesting characters of Liscard was Sam Pritchard at No.14 Wallasey Road. He was educated at the National School in Liscard Road and he began work by going around the neighbourhood with a cart and selling paraffin from a large drum.
As he grew older he could lend his hand or give advice on a wide range of subjects. He made his own cough mixture from locally-grown herbs. He made his own boot and metal polishes, which he put into tins and sold. He kept hens and sold eggs. Sam also made and sold harnesses.
He became a removal contractor which proved to be very successful business. People would borrow a handcart to enable them to take a large piece of furniture which they had bought from Wilson's Sale Rooms in Liscard Road. The furniture vans had large wheels at the back and small ones at the front. The driver sat on the roof of the vehicle. They were painted in cream and brown and were hauled by horses. One horse was able to pull the van. The horses were stabled at the back of the shop. Sam was joined by his sons, Sam junior and John. Fred, another son, in the business, but died when he was in his twenties. Sam's two brothers, William and Robert, were a little lower down the road at No.16. They were fruiterers, greengrocers and coal merchants. The coal side of the business was operated from the rear of the shop and was quite separate from the fruit shop. Sam's son, John, went into the undertaking and wedding car business. The business began in 1880 and prior to that time, Sam Jnr. made his living in the harness trade, plus the polishes and selling and few antiques. Sam Snr. loved to sail to the Isle Of Man and had a contact. They also went on charabanc trips to Wales. The removal business flourished and they arranged removals by road, rail and sea. His telephone number was just a simple No. 27, Liscard and another was Wallasey 217. They then invested in motorised vans with solid tyres. Sam did all the signwriting on the vans. In fact there was little that he could not do. In the days of horses, he was able to give advice and help to other people. The coffins for the undertakers (John) was made by the family. Among the men who Sam employed was Bob Ashley, Jack Mills and several others. One of the vehicles (HF 1947) was a sort of flat back truck and the van part was separate and could be lifted off and put on the railway or shipped by sea. The other one was a straight forward van (NA 9891). It was a Halford, the other being a A.E.C. As years went on the firm only had offices at No. 19 Wallasey Road, later to become Halford's cycle and car spares shop.
Continuing along Wallasey Road we have Marks & Spencers who had been located in Liscard Road but were bombed in the 1941 Wallasey Blitz so moved temporarily to No. 9-10. Jim Kent established his auction rooms after the Second World War at 14 and 15 Wallasey Road. There was also a social club in Wallasey Road which was above the shops and known as 'Coronation Social Club' and it was active in the 1930's.
In 1919 the town agreed there should be a market but it was some years before it was built. The site chosen was once occupied by 'Clairville Cottage'. The new building took the name of 'Central Market'. In the front of the Market in the 1920s was the showroom Rymers, which was later taken over by Sonia's gown shop. Central Market Garage was owned by Mr. Huggin's. The Market used to be covered on the inside where there were roughly about 20 stalls selling mainly a wide selection of produce. The stalls could be moved away and boards, like pallets, were laid flat on the floor for skaters to skate on. The wheels of the skaters were wooden. A rail was attached to stop to the edge to stop the skaters running into the spectators. The Market was demolished by the early 1960s and new shops were built in its place. No. 40 to No. 52 were built by 1966 and No.54 to No. 60 were built soon after.
On the corner of Moseley Avenue stood Black's, the men's outfitters, which closed for business only recently after serving the community for more then half a century. There was a well-known grocery business at No. 68 and 70 called Monteith's. William Monteith then moved to a commanding position on the corner of Liscard Road and Wallasey Road, opposite the old 'Monkey House' shelter and had the largest grocery shop in Liscard. Previously the site had been occupied by Ellis Jones' mill. It was called Victoria Steam Mills. When the grocers finally closed down the property was taken over by Montague Burton, the tailors. The old premises at No.68 and 70 was taken over by Hugh Charlton, another grocer who remained for many years. Mr Boughey established his estate agency at No. 72 and the firm continues to this day. Bert Handy had a fine men's outfitters in the 1930's and continued after the Second World War at No. 104. He sold fine shirts and hats as well as supplying farms with their clothing needs. Leicester Stationery and Artists needs etc., were established in the 1930's at No. 106.
On the other side of Belvidere Road was a number of shops including William Brown's hardware business. Other shops included Muss Flynn's millinery (later Mrs. England's) John Crail, the baker in the 1920s and later to become Robert Plant's grocers. The Co-operative Society opened a large branch in this row of shops some years later.

Once-polluted River Mersey is now a wildlife haven say experts
THE River Mersey has shaken off its unenviable reputation as one of the most polluted waterways in Britain.
Less than 30 years ago, “minister for Merseyside” Michael Heseltine condemned the river as “an affront to the standards a civilised society should demand of its environment”.
But following a major clean-up operation, the river is now home to an increasing variety of wildlife.
Seals, porpoises and even the odd dolphin have all been spotted in the Mersey.
Experts today said it was only a matter of time before otters are sighted.
Denis Riley, who snapped this picture of a seal near Otterspool promenade, wrote on his Flickr page: “The sun was setting so I decided to take some sunsets when someone said there was a seal feeding – had to leg it for 200m and was puffing and blowing when I took a sequence of pics, but most were blurred as I was shaking after the sprint.”
Tony Parker, assistant curator for vertebrate zoology at National Museums Liverpool, said: “It is becoming increasingly common to see seals and porpoises in the Mersey estuary.
“A seal would probably have come from Hilbre Island, where up to 600 spend the summer. They can travel a fair distance and tend to stick around shallow waters.
“Porpoises are normally found washed up on the beach because there is a growing population in the Irish Sea.
“Seals are increasing because there are more fish for them to eat.
“As the water quality improves, there will be more invertebrates. The fish will come to feed on those, which leads to increasing numbers of marine mammals like seals and porpoises. It has gone on over the past 20 years, since the Mersey started to get cleaner.”
But while marine mammals have started to multiply thanks to the greater numbers of fish in the river, some bird populations have gone into decline because they fed off invertebrates which thrived in the polluted conditions.
Mr Parker said: “When the water is horrible and polluted, there is a certain invertebrate form which thrives in those conditions.
“They are quite good food sources for a lot of birds.
“Now they have cleaned up the river, those invertebrates are not available any more and the birds have gone elsewhere.”
Mr Parker said there was a marked decline in the number of wading birds seen on the Mersey, although fish-eating birds like cormorants and little egrets had started to appear.
The Mersey Basin Campaign led the clean-up of the river and was only wound up this year after 25 years of improving water quality.
A spokeswoman for the Environment Agency said the River Mersey was heavily polluted from years of industrial activity which took place along the river system.
She said: “This activity meant it was virtually impossible for any aquatic life to live within the water.
“We have worked hard with partners to improve the water quality of the River Mersey.
“Over the last few years, salmon were found within the Mersey.
“Otter and kingfisher populations also showed an increase. It is a true indication the water quality has significantly improved.”

Internet clue to brutal 1955 Wirral murder of Liverpool woman
MERSEYSIDE Police are following fresh leads in a 55-year-old murder case after information was posted on a website.
Prostitute Alice Barton, 49, was strangled and her body dumped in a wartime pillbox in the Fender Valley area of Woodchurch, Birkenhead, in September 1955.
A schoolboy picking blackberries found the body – triggering a police manhunt which led to 40,000 people across Britain being quizzed.
Now detectives are following up a new line of enquiry after the posting on the internet claiming the murderer was her grandfather.
Aimee Buckley, 19, from Wirral, relates a story that was passed down through her dad’s family over the years.
She describes the suspicion that her grandfather – her dad’s father – who frequented a pub just minutes away from the murder scene, was involved in the killing.
Aimee wrote: “One night, he came home wearing blood soaked clothes demanding my nan to burn them. My nan was so horrified and in shock that she went to throw them in the wash immediately, but he ordered her to burn them there and then.”
She goes on to say that a couple of days later the murder of Alice Barton was reported in the newspaper.
She adds: “The killer has never been found and from my grandad no words have ever been said about it.”
The ECHO understands that the “grandfather” referred to in the message is no longer alive.
Following the discovery, the identity of Alice Barton remained a mystery, until the police controversially decided to put the face of the dead woman in the ECHO.
Several readers instantly recognised her including her estranged husband John, who had not seen his wife for more than 10 years.
The Pillbox Murder sent shockwaves through the Wirral community at the time.
Lancashire-born Alice had drifted into the murky world of prostitution after leaving her husband some years earlier.
She would take her regular customers, mostly truck drivers, to the pill box.
A spokesman for Merseyside Police said: “The investigation into the death of Alice Barton in 1955, as with all unsolved murder investigations, remains open.
“The Serious Crime Review Unit has recently received new information about this case, which is being looked into.
“The Unit welcomes any new information about unsolved cases and would urge anyone who has information about such crimes to contact 0151-709-6010 or Crimestoppers on 0800-555-111.”
THE WIRRAL NEWS
Merseyside still has a number of unsolved murder cases
AMONG the high-profile unsolved murder cases still on Merseyside police’s books is that of Liverpool prostitute Anne-Marie Foy, who was murdered in September 2005.
The body of the 45-year-old gran-of-four was dumped in undergrowth at the junction of Crown Street and West Derby Street in the heart of Liverpool’s red light district.
Also still at large are three masked men who carried out the cold-blooded killing of a loving young mum.
In the early hours of August 3, 2005, 22-year-old mum-of-three Lucy Hargreaves was shot as she slept on the sofa in her Walton home.
The intruders fired a 12-gauge shotgun at the sleeping Miss Hargreaves and then tried to cover up the execution by setting fire to the house.
In another unsolved case, dad-of-four Joey Peloe, 45, was shot on his own doorstep after answering a midnight knock at the front door of his Speke home on December 28, 2004.

Witness appeal after attempted armed robbery at Wirral golf club
POLICE are appealing for witnesses after a man armed with a hammer demanded cash from staff at Warren Golf Club in Wallasey.
The man, who is white and thought to be about 18 years old, went into the club shop at around 4.50pm on Saturday August 21 and attacked a 75-year-old man who helps out there.
The man was not seriously hurt and the offender made off, empty handed.
The offender is described as being tall and skinny and was wearing a grey top and dark blue scarf.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact Birkenhead CID on 777 2265 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Television is stolen from Wirral church
THIEVES targeted a Wirral church when they took a 50 inch plasma television used for a special youth club.
Rev Roy Cullen, who runs the Youth Interlink Club at Grange Baptist and Chinese Church, in Borough Road, Birkenhead, was shocked to discover the £600 TV had been taken on Saturday night.
The television had been bought with community funding from the Grass Root Grant and had only been in use for about two weeks.
Around 80 young people, aged 13-19 years old, crowded into the church at the weekend to watch the new series of the X Factor and make use of the pool tables and activities on offer at the club.
But when Rev Cullen arrived on Sunday morning for worship, he found that the TV had been unhooked off the wall and empty beer cans were strewn across the floor.
He said: "It is just awful to think to that these people broke in here and took something from the teenagers who come here.
The youth club has been a roaring success since its launch and we have never had any problems.
"We welcome kids from all over and they can just come here to socialise and hang out with friends in a safe environment. It is our way of tackling anti-social behaviour and we try to bring these young people in here so they don't have to hang round on street corners."
Now Rev Cullen is hoping the TV can be replaced and the youth club can resume normal activity, but the incident has highlighted worries about security measures.
Rev Cullen said: "We obviously need to step up our security so that this sort of thing does not happen again. But we have to keep in mind that this a church and we want to make our local community feel welcome.
"We do not want to turn our churches into fortresses."

One of my computers was struggling a bit running Windows 7. It is a 3.4GHZ/1GB RAM that I'd built back in 2005. Ran XP like a treat but struggled under a newer operating system.
Thought I'd try upgrading it as it's got a fairly decent graphics card and a large hard disk.
Ended up buying some extra RAM off eBAY 512MB (only cost about £13), then overlocked the fooker in the BIOS. By upping the FSB (front side bus speed) I turned a 3.4GHZ PC into a 3.6GHZ (the fastest speed it seems to be stable at). It performs like a completely different machine now.
The motherboard (Aopen) is designed to be easily overclocked and even comes with a smart util that enables you to do it online (see screenshot).
All you need to do is go into your BIOS when the comp starts (press Del on most machines). Find the "Frequency/voltage control" page and increase the FSB speed. Try it at different settings to see what's stable. It's very easy to do in most Award BIOS.
