Birkenhead Town Hall - Sailor's Fund Investigator 5th Dec 2023 8:56pm Whilst researching another topic, I stumbled across the fact that Birkenhead Town Hall seemed to be used a lot for charitable events. One of which was a "Sailors and Soldiers" event, which was for orphans in the town. Which makes sense, because World War I was actively going on during this time and must have created many orphans. I read a figure that said 600 were invited to one of the events.

The "Sailors and Soldiers" events ran throughout the 1920's from what I can see. There's little to no information on the web about these events. Does anyone have a list of all these events? Photographs or newspaper clippings would be great to see. Or if anyone knows where I can find more information about these events? Surely this information must be archived somewhere. It seems like a big part of our WWI history, not just for the army themselves, but for their families back home in Birkenhead.

Rock Ferry to Liverpool Ferries Investigator 30th Nov 2023 7:34pm I'm doing a bit of research into all things history / wirral and I was looking at some of the stunning ferries that were traveling to and from Liverpool in the 1920's. Does anyone happen to have any news articles or information about the travel times from Liverpool to Rock Ferry Pier and vice versa - specifically in the 1920's?

Thanks in advance

Sat Nav Renault Kadjar pegsgirl 16th Nov 2023 8:54am Does anyone know how to update Sat nav in a Kadjar. Mine is 4 years old, I've asked dealership who advise I download on line via USB, tried that and I don't understand it, I apparently have to download a "toolbox" via Renault. Then save onto USB and then update incar. Such a long winded process but doesn't appear to do anything.
Any advice for a simpler way would be appreciated
Thank you

Birkenhead Hall and Lordship diggingdeeper 15th Oct 2023 10:22am There is very little mention of Birkenhead Hall and the associated Lordship. Everything appears to skip round it, no names, no dates, no drawings/paintings?

Birkenhead Hall was by the priory on land that is now part of the industrial estate, I suspect remains existed into the 19th century.

The modern Earlship was created in 1922 which appears to use the title of Lord.

The Manor House of Birkenhead was the Priory.

Birkenhead St Mary's Register 1721 - 1812 diggingdeeper 15th Oct 2023 10:05am Nice document I don't recall reading before which mentions the Birkenhead Boundary corner of Bennett's Hill and the original Bessborough Road. Coincidentally over the last few days I have been looking at why Bessborough Road and Heathfield Road were not one name. Heathfield was built after Bessborough which originally terminated half way up Bennett's Hill.
