Great find Snowy. wink
Quite a few I have not seen before. A shame the one of the Bidston isn't clearer, it looks like fields or allotments behind it. The Pacific looks grand as well. Also, that is the 1st time I have seen The Blossoms, all the old timers still call it that.
It's a shame the pics don't stay up longer because I have to keep pausing it to have a good look, haha!

Pity the Old English Gentleman in Price St is not there which is were I was born. However it does include the Lord Exmouth were I lived till I was 21, It was all very interesting and brought back memories of Birkenhead as it was before I moved on.

The Old English was turned into a cafe and was called The Old English Cafe for a while, which was a very nice one at that. After that it became Cafe Singapore, which was a crap one. Not sure if it is still open though.

I made a big mistake with my previous message, I meant to write Irish Gentleman and not English sorry Mikeeb.

I had not heard of the Old Irish Gentleman before Joney.
Seems like you are one of the few that remembered it and informed Derek of it. wink
Here is the thread about it, and it still caused a lot of confusion with the Old English, haha!
