I think this is the Letters pub in Chester Street on the corner of St Mary's Gate (possibly 1920s-1930s). But there were a few other pubs of that name in Birkenhead, so I don't know for certain.

The Williams saddlers makes it look like you are correct.

There's a real danger that the left will drag Britain back to the 1970s, with secure well-paid jobs, ample housing, properly-funded NHS and social care, free tuition, student grants, final salary pensions, affordable rail fares and fabulous films and music. David Osland 2025
