Up to 1944 £600,000 spent on repairs to moderately damaged houses and still a large number of houses beyond first aid repairs. In 1939 Birkenhead had 37,727 houses, flats and shops, 2,079 demolished by enemy action and over 26,000 damaged. 25,000 have received first aid repairs. These do not include properties that have suffered broken windows. It is estimated 1,000,000 square feet of glass has been used since November 1941.
