For week beginning 20th January, collections will be for Grey bins from all households on their normal collection date.

Brown bins are staying to plan.

If bins aren't collected on your collection day, leave them out, there will be catch-up collections over the weekend

There used to be a band of dedicated Letby supporters who would post frequently on social media or newspaper comments pages about her being scapegoated and hidden from the media (until it all came out).

These comments used to be quickly deleted.

In 1921, Victor was living in Toxteth, Liverpool, with Joseph Savage and his wife, Fanny Eliza, nee Warmington, recorded as Nephew. Joseph Savage was a Policeman and no doubt Victor followed later in his footsteps.

Re: Stonehouse Rd/ Russell Road. Wallasey Village JenniferWarm 14th Jan 2025 3:08pm
Hello
This may seem an out of blue message. Recently my dad has been talking about his extended family he had a lot of aunts and uncles. Never really knew alot about them. He mentioned he had an uncle (paternal side) who was a policeman in Liverpool, my dad was very young when he was in the force, then lived in Wallasey with his aunt Elsie. Been having a look online to see if i could find anything and came across this messageboard. It seems to tie up with your post and I'm wondering if its the same people! would love to see photos if you had any or willing to share any more info.
We are based in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, England. My dads family (Warmington) came from Nuneaton , Warwickshire.

I was caught in a traffic jam at Birkenhead Road today and was looking at the curved bays with the curved lintels and sills, they were obviously mass produced but some thought about appearance had occurred. Some modern houses don't have visible lintels any longer not even a run of header bricks.

Yes, I do that too. I look at the older buildings (even the older terraces like you mentioned), and you can see there was some creativity and pride back then. I think corporate greed has taken over....now it's all about profits. I've watched quite a few videos about how we're losing the skills we had in architecture in buildings etc. There are some really good videos about it if you look around. Just look at cathedrals for example. Amazing works of art. Sad isn't it

Merseyrail Deep Weather diggingdeeper 9th Jan 2025 5:15pm
Apparently the Wirral Line was shut down today because ......

"Due to poor weather conditions at Hamilton Square, all Wirral line services are currently suspended due to poor weather conditions"

I would love to know how the weather affects trains in a 90ft deep level station?

I went when that opened, I am sure it was Elsie Tanner and Len Fairclough who opened it.

On some 19th century maps (OS 6" 1st edition) its not marked as a pub but is marked as a Blacksmiths, no idea whether this was a mistake in the early surveys.

Re: Rising tides diggingdeeper 23rd Dec 2024 12:40pm
Stats on ice are often greatly obfuscated eg using area not volume, segregating sea ice and land ice etc, it makes it difficult to form an opinion at to what is exaggeration or misleading.

There are additional complex factors such as the land bounce-back when sea levels rise, the partial flotation reduces pressure.

There is also very little information on the effects of tectonic movement on sea level.

I know the predictions are struggling but of course air pressure, air movement, salt movement and gravitational changes of other bodies etc all affect the distribution of water and its only relatively recently we have figures that could truly be called mean sea levels.

I think it fascinating that we have huge tidal range differences within the UK, Bristol and Liverpool are huge, Mull of Kintyre is tiny. From a basic map the reasons are not obvious and over time you'd expect scouring/deposition to have levelled depth and hence ranges.

Re: Eleanor Road Bidston (Bishops House) kevin 22nd Dec 2024 4:36pm
I have just read some further posts. Absolute disgrace to demolish such a fine redbrick building. There was a patio at the rear which looked across to North Wales. Had a small Orchard and what was called the Dell on the side with a little cave, fond memories but, as mentioned criminal to knock it down. I drove down Eleanor Road some years ago to see it again, failed to locate as I was unaware it was no longer standing.
