I've only found this bit of info about it: Originally Posted By: Originally situated in Whetstone Lane, Birkenhead, it was later relocated to premises on Tollemache Road, Claughton until its closure and subsequent demolition in the 1990s. Wilfred Owen, the World War I poet attended the school at its original location.[5] A residential road has been named after him on the Tollemache Road site. is that the place? _________________________

Phil_wirral Phil_wirral Newbeee Registered: 28th Aug 2008 Posts: 4 Loc: Wirral	I went to the B.I. in 1960 until 1967.It was when it was in Whetstone Lane, and it was a great building. Sadly it was pulled down in the 1970s, and the school closed in 1993 after it moved to Tollemache Road. http://www.freewebs.com/birkenheadinstitute/
