I am just wondering if anyone would know how I could find out what type of building or what was in a particular road before the current buildings.

Without saying too much, me and my colleagues think spooky things are happening in our workplace and want to know what was here before this building that was put up in 2002.

No idea where I would find any info or photos, we are on market street in birkenhead.

Market Street was once an ancient sacred inca burial ground.

Have you tried the local land registry?

I think you may be wrong manic. it's well known that it was a Native American burial ground.
