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

A possibility, Thomas Dash Philips lived at Weldon, I have him on the 1901 census through to his death in 1913, as it happens he was born in Weldon, Northampton. perhaps a name change, but it must have changed back. A report in the 1999 Birkenhead News ( Bishops House)

It is also rumoured that there may be tunnels underneath but I doubt it, one of the neighbours said the council blocked them off but when the new houses were built nothing was exposed during the excavations.
The council document is the one that is there now pretty much less the conservatory.
I cant access the 1999 Birkenhead News.
i wonder who Thomas Dash Philips was and what he did?
I will contact the builder to see if he has any photos of the original before it was demolished.
I have have contacted the Diocese of Shrewsbury a couple of weeks ago but nothing back yet.
Thomas Dash Philips was a Publisher. Weldon had 15 rooms, not including Bathrooms, lobbies, etc.
I'm wondering if it was shared occupation, part of it let out.
Bishop Hugh Singleton, He died in office at his Bishop's House in Birkenhead on 17 December 1934, aged 83, and was buried at the Flaybrick Hill Cemetery. Another newspaper snippet has the second daughter of Thomas Dash Philips demise in 1951, Weldon, Eleanor Rd.
