Went on the tour and found it was a lot bigger than I would have thought.
Near to closing time I was shown some great maps (1875) roughly 4ft x 4ft which were similar to 1st pic but of other parts of Birkenhead which I would love to have a digital copy of.
I think there were 85 rows of info + lots of map cases in the temperature controlled rooms and the cylinders for fire control which would immediately starve the fire of oxygen but have still been breathable.
