Have any of the other libraries or Archives have also done this? If so any links please.
You can to it from this link
click just noticed loads of other downloads as well
Nice find, Derek.
309 pages, 40 items per page - all searchable in PDF - great!
I guess the reference number indicates where the document lives. They can't all be in the Cheshire Lines archives, can they?
Surely you need something in the librarys to go and look at?
Converted it into an excel to sort and search alphabetically.
There's quite a few photos I'd like to see.
Don't know if any of them are in the Archives.
Wonder if Wallasey library and Archives have a downloadable list of their photos.
I'll phone the libraries and Archives next week to ask
Wallasey Library are thinking of doing one online
Lower Bebington haven't but do have a cd with photos on that you can ask for to look at on their computers.
Archives haven't
I get 592 as well
Derek, is there a link to wallasey library?
The link google throws up doesn't work
