On the left, where Woolworth's will be, was the Baptist chapel (set back, out of view) & next to it, the YMCA.

Old Birkenhead market should be straight behind the Beatties tower from there on the fist picture.

The nearest building you have circled is the new precinct, they started building from that corner.

The white buildings in the middle have me flumuxed, they facing the wrong way for the angel (and anything else I can think of)

I think the white building is the block that the crown pub is on.

its the wrong direction for the crown buildings, they would be well to the left of this picture, could it be something that was knocked down to build the old tunnel approach flyover that was built and later knocked down on conway street? You can see the old post office pub to the right of it.

Tried working out on this old map where and what the white building would be. Positioning would lead me to the row of buildings ive marked on the map. Anyone know what the pub was on that corner of Hamilton St And Conway St?
