Money money money , never mind the pain to the animal. What some people will do to make sure their dogs can fetch the most money possible is sickening.

Only just noticed this article today , so a bit out of date as it was February. Please note that the salon where this happened are the ones who flagged up that there may be a problem , and set cameras to check it out . The person who appears to be mishandled a dog has now left there, but is setting up her own salon . https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...V-holding-squirming-pet-scruff-neck.html

There was a strong connection with these families through church and family ties, shown in parish records, for both Bromborough and Eastham. Are there any descendants of these families who possess diaries/records of the early 1800s which might suggest how and where the children of these families were educated? Also, why in the 1820s did some members decide to emmigrate to Australia? Any information would be welcome as I would love to make contact with anyone with ideas!.

I put this in the wrong forum yesterday :- Handbag found in New Brighton on Sunday morning by a friend of mine, It looks like it has been left accidentally as it contains phone (locked), money, credit cards etc. No addresss information. Handed in at Birkenhead police station Sunday morning as for some reason Wallasey police station was closed. If you know anyone who lost their bag Saturday night/ Sunday morning please direct them to Birkenhead police station.

Well i'm sure a lot of you have already had the latest bill dropped though the letter box over the last few days mine has gone up £200 this year on last, i know a lot of people are not happy with a rise in this or a rise in that.
If you remember the budget and the promise of a rise in the Min wage starting in April 2019, was it something like 21 or 31 pence? since then we have had Gas going up, Electric up, water up, petrol up [ and down ] food prices going up each day, then to get a Council Tax rise to a lot of people that 21/31 pence pay rise is a joke!
But the biggest joke was reading the letter that came with the Council Tax bill from Cllr.Phil Davis. according to him its going to be an exicting year for Wirral, Our Borough is now officially recognised as the region's Borough of Culture! Is it April the 1st already? And now i know what the Council has been spending money making cycle lanes every where, we are having the Tour Series in May and September, How wonderful more roads closed off?
They have £8 Million to spend improving the roads thoughtout Wirral, sorry Phil if you added two noughs to this figure to make it £8 hundred million it still wouldn't be enough to fix our roads and pavements, and what happened to the £6 million the Goverment gave each Council for pot holes repairs?? Wonder if the roads where the cycling will run though get done first?
Wirral Council you are a Joke and i do not understand the people of Wirral putting up with it each day

The New Scientist this week has a report about a motorist having to stop in a country lane in Wirral because there was a "Giant Rabbit" in the way. The animal hopped over the hedge and made off. The startled driver reported the incident and an investigation revealed unusual droppings. Eventually a herd of Wallabies was discovered. They had apparently escaped from Chester Zoo during bombing in WW2 and were happily ensconsed in Wirral! I assume this all happened a long time ago in the '50s or '60s

It has the smell of an urban myth to me, but I guess it is possible. Has anyone come across any local stories about this event, if it really happened.

What's the answer to these senseless stabbings going on!! A boy been stabbed by The Kings Pub , Bebington tonight...Just horrible doesn't seem to be anything to make these kids think twice about carrying a knife no punishment strong enough .

Grove Hotel formerly Grove Cottage on the corner of Grove Road and Wallasey Village

Wondering if there are any photos or info on Moss Hall in Prenton. It seems to have been situated on Moss Lane. I remember two pairs of old semis in Moss Lane which were knocked down and new houses built. Wonder if it was on the site before the original houses?
I've seen it on an old map circa 1850s??
Thanks

Came across this query on facebook
"This image is from a ceramic pattern book containing logos which the Spode factory printed onto specially commissioned tableware (The books are haphazardly arranged and were used between 1820-1890). Has anyone any information on Montgomery's Railway Hotel in Heswall? My searches online and in late Victorian street maps have proved fruitless." Many thanks
here are some ideas that were suggested
Heswall railway station opened 1886. Statue of liberty was dedicated in 1886.
The Black Horse used to be The Heswall Hotel run by a Montgomery
Please could someone post a map with Heswall station and the Heswall Hotel or Black Horse on so I can see why it may have been possibly named Railway Hotel

Pair of small bedside cabinets. They were probably home made but shame to fling them. Sizes are 26" high 12" wide and 9" deep with small draw and two shelves. Made from decent wood.

Collection only from Bebington - no delivery sorry.

Is this true or media nonsense ? You'll have to read it, as I'm not copying and pasting.

Hi, I have an iCandy apple buggy frame in average/ good condition. Tyres need air, maybe new inner tubes. This was a £700 ish buggy when new but has served us well. Would love for someone else to be able to grab it and get some more use. All you need is to add the top attachment depending on baby’s age. Something like this

Below is a topic I started on Cross Hill ,Thingwall back in 2014. Not much, but thought linking it might be useful.

After the recent supermoon we will have a huge 33ft tide today just after noon.

According to Laura Evans and the Wirral West News leaflet just popped through my door 6900 new jobs found in the last 12 months in Wirral West. "6900 new pay packets,6900 more people able to support their families"

Trying to find some stats on unemployment levels.. Trying hard to think where in wirral west these 6900 new jobs are. Thats the equivalent to 2 new Honda car manufacturing plants

Looks like it is end of the road for the Egremont.

Hello,
I am a 3rd year university student at LJMU and am researching into the life of a man named Leslie John Robinson (b.1929) who was born in Wallasey. He had many jobs including working as a van boy for the Birkenhead and District Co-op Bakery on Price Street before going on to join the army (South Lancashire Regiment) serving in Egypt. He then became a police officer and married his wife Hazel and had two children Jane and Andrew. He also had a granddaughter called Nanette. He moved to Teesside before returning back to Tranmere.
If anyone has any information about Leslie or his family/ friends or any images of places such as the Bakery on Price Street or the original Well Lane School I would be incredibly greatful.

Thank you.
Kayla

Wirral council have just bought VUE cinema for £7million and taken back the freehold on Birkenhead Market so they can "completely reshape the town centre" according to the Wirral Globe,

sound ominous "reshape" flatten?

another pie in the sky promise that will just line the pockets of so called consultants and these mystery development companies.?

Mid-morning today, the lights suddenly went very dim, and slowly got dimmer for about five or ten minutes. Clearly a big drop in voltage.It was then just as suddenly restored.

It was enough to scramble the brains of my piano (electric) changing the settings on it, and the boiler was so baffled by the event it stopped work entirely, and had to be coaxed back to work by power cycling it.

My desktop carried on as normal and so did the monitors on it. I guess they have switchmode supplies that will operate down to about 100 volts.

Did anyone else notice this?

On saturday i saw the stupid distracted young sitting down in birkenhead shops as a silly " protest " against supposed myths of global warming hysteria.
The worlds gona end next week type rubbish.
Sorry but GW is about taxing people / upping their bills / corporate agenda nothing more.
They need to look into the past....
The mini ice age in the 1600s
Don easterbrook proves in court co2 doesnt cause GW
Ice skating on the thames
Niagra falls freezin solid long before cars vans planes etc.
The atmosphere is 75 % water
Co2 feeds plants. Its good.
The oceans have 50 times the co2 of the sky
Termites produce more co2 than people
Listen to piers corbyn , friends of science dot com.
Listen to dan pena talking about GW via mortgages in florida ( very good points )
We had a period of cooling from 78 to 98 , FACT.
Look into drax power station in yorks & how it ships billions of dollars of US wood from carolina to be burnt cause the EU doesnt allow coal burning.
Who pays for that?? The public user bill payers....
It would take over 20k wind farms to produce draxs power levels. Its never gona fill the gap, rotor farms or solar.
Google dominican / haiti border picture....one side bland , one side lush greenery.....guess which side has GW sanctions on it ?? The beige bland one..
Im fed up of GW hysteria when itll prob be our food consumption & over population thatll be our demise as told in docufilm " cowspriracy "
Human kind ( ego led ) just wont accept the weather happens despite us not because of us.

A movie made around Birkenhead called The Violators is now available on Netflix.
The Hollywood Reporter describes it as 'a bracing bleak blast of social realism from a
corner of England rarely seen on screen'.
Meanwhile another American magazine, Variety, describes it as being set in a rundown suburb in
the picturesque English county of Cheshire!
I initially thought it was in Manchester as there was a reference to Mancland and there
are some Manc accents and NO scouse ones. Weird.
Nice to see my house made it to the big screen.
Usual dish of despair and scuzzies.
