Old maps show some large houses including "Higher Bebington Hall" but I cant find any information on any of them, except Larchwood which features in Tragic Wirral. I have lived in the area for 44 years and although there seems to be lots of pictures and info re Lower Bebington, there seems little on Higher Bebington. Thanks in advance.

According to the 1911 census it had 17 plus rooms, mainly the home of merchants. God help us, Come yourself, Don't send Jesus, This is no place for children. Bertieone.
