ms paint lol

Been looking at picture 76 it looks like Breck Road in wallasey..

80 to me looks like where the cycle path from bromborough to port sunlight is... the part parrallel to spital damn area..lookin towards port sunlight...although, the chances of that path being there back that long ago i cant quite see it lol... just looks very similar

According to 20th Century Images posted by Jonno before, 76 is Storeton Woods and 80 is Greasby.

I remember 46 and 50 from childhood...
They are both images of the quarries at the end of Mill Road in Higher Bebington - I remember the mill being demolished - and that dinosaur footprints found in the rock beds there were to be found in mill Road School and in the porch of Christ Church, Higher Bebington

Hi, Alsbury; welcome. You're quite right about 46 & 50, they are both of Storeton quarry; the one to the East of Mount Rd. This one was filled with the spoil from the Wallasey tunnel. Matt has picked up one one of the pics, but not the other & on the first page they're still listed as the Mersey tunnel entrance. Perhaps you could correct that, Mark, as I don't have editing privileges for this forum.
Alsbury; yes, I remember the mill too. Storeton Woods used to be one of my main play areas in the 40's & 50's & I now belong to the Friends of Storeton Woods. I hope you find much to interest you on these pages & that you will be able to contribute.

Cheers, Chris.

Why is this prime building land, on Mount Rd. Higher Bebington, near Bracken Lane, still empty? Take a look at pic.50 on page 3. Mine is taken from just about the same spot. I guess no-one wanted to risk building on the spoil from the Kingsway tunnel.

old thread i know, but 53 is liscard but it is near iceland, boots etc looking towards seaveiw road. You can make out the buildings in the background one of them is a salon or something like that (not that i visit you understand) 108 is looking directly down sidney road in tranmere, on the right you can make out one of the 4 high rise smack addict accomodation flats under construction.

pic 102, any clue?

pic 103, duffy likes this place apparently

Five bars Seacombe bottom of Borough road?

Tiny photograph and I have tried to blow it up but just distorts. At a guess Rock Ferry looking at the ferry terminal and that pub whatever it is called?

does any1 have any pics of conway st flyover? I have scored the web and can't find any plzzzzz help.....

Not really OF the flyover, this is looking along the parapet of the flyover on 13 July 1969, the day before it opened to traffic.

wow mad, it didnt really last long before they removed it by the looks of it .
