Re: 132 Central Hotel joney 8th Jul 2025 8:02am
Spent many an evening in the cocktail bar of the Central Hotel in the 50s being entertained by the cocktail barman Dave Brown who was a real character. Very sad to see the state of it today.

A couple of little bits you may not have,

Gilbert Guile Alldis, Stonemason. In 1934, he knocked a cyclist off his bike and was fined £1 for driving without due care and fined 10s for driving without a licence, plus costs.

His son, Gilbert John Alldis signed for Tranmere Rovers in 1938 and for New Brighton FC in 1950.

Re: Burton Marsh WW2 060 OTU Practise Bombing Targets nickaxe 2nd Jul 2025 1:09pm
So glad I found this topic....answers a question regarding my dads war service with the Royal Engineers I think it was Maybe the REME?

He told me as a younger lad that during the WW2 he was stationed at Burton Manor.....what an easy posting we thought.....later on in life when he was no longer here to ask I got wondering.....what an earth where the REME doing based at Burton Manor.

Well I am now presuming he was involved in erecting these targets ect.

Got to know the area quite well in recent years visiting Parkgate ect.

Many thanks to the OP....solved a long time mystery.

Three managers from the Countess of Chester Hospital have now been arrested for suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter. Presumably attempts to hide the department's failings are among the reasons this has come about. Investigations into this matter are ongoing.

It should be noted that the police investigations into the deaths of the babies is still ongoing as a separate issue.

Park Primary School Circa Mid to Late 1960s _natabb96 26th Jun 2025 8:33pm
Hiya,

This may be a massive long shot BUT my dad went to Park Primary School (Love Lane, Wallasey) in the mid to late 1960s (He was born in 1961).

Back when I went to school in the 2000s we celebrated an anniversary of the school, and to cut a long story short, he borrowed his class pictures to a member of staff at the time and never got them back, which he regrets to this day.

I'm asking here to see if anyone at all has any pictures of classes from the mid to late 1960s or knows anyone who went during this time.

I would absolutely love to be able to find a copy of these pictures so he has them again.

Any help on pointers of where else to look would also be great, thank you in advance!

The RAF Little Sutton airfield buildings were demolished around 2015/16 and new houses built as part of Ledsham Garden Village. New Hall Farm is still extant.

Re: Birkenhead Union Workhouse bert1 22nd Jun 2025 3:39pm
There's many examples of punishment handed out to inmates for failing to carry out work allotted to them,

One example in 1890, Jacob Stacey a healthy looking man was charged when he refused to break 10cwt of stone.
The Doctor passed him fit to do so and he was sent to gaol for ten days with hard labour.

1900, The Board of Guardians sanctioned swimming lessons for all girls in the workhouse.

1900, Deaths were reported and attributed to arsenic poisoning and at the inquest 30 cases of Peripheral Neuritis was also brought to light.
It was caused by beer being made from Malt and Hops alone.
An analyst investigated and warned brewers against using Arsenical Malt.

In 1873, A proposal was made to put lighting behind the workhouse in Derby Rd, opposition was raised on the grounds if people wanted to enter the workhouse they might want to do it in the dark.

1885,
The Guardians wanted tenders to build Wards for the Insane, to have sight of the plans and requirements one Guinea was charged and redeemed when the tender was submitted.

I had a mate who lives there in the flats in the late 90s.
Lovely view.
His dad owned the flat. A local solicitor who was pretty loaded.
It was hilarious... Full of us lot having parties and stuff. Really miss those days. Everything comes to an end.
Joined this place on here years ago. . Surprised it's still got active threads.

Government housing quotas are to blame, 1600 new homes a year for 20 years for Wirral is ridiculous and is imposable to achieve without eventually building on green belt which is highly unpopular.
