45 is the bus depot in seacome, 46 is the entrance being built to the mersey tunnel, 47 is a couple of old todgers after a gang bang

Since nobody else has got it, ill give the game away, 44 is Lever Brothers in Port Sunlight.

47 has the word "Hume" in the brick work
i cant work out the rest.

42 looks West Kirby ish??

Your right Mark, 42 looks like West Kirby station, but I am wondering where the old joint line is, as it should be visable, but isnt???

I agree with Andy about 45 and 46.

47 is a bit of a mystery, it looks like it could be an ex-military or police mans club or similar. It could just be aco-incindence that thos gentlement are seated outside that building though. Im pretty sure it says Home not Hume on the building. The building to the right also looks very modern, so I would assume the photo is within the last 40 or so years.

wonder if its hume hall in port sunlight

I will re do the list as soon as i get time,
Or if someone wants to do the latest list and missing pics?
but just to keep you on your toes 5 more.

51- hoylake beach
an had me nan look over these again an she says that
25 could b Hamilton square
42 could b the train station in west kirby
49 could b the old art center in central park

42 does look like West Kirby train station
45 and 46, what Andy said.
48 looks like greasby road is it? Think thats what its called anyway.
49 is the lady lever art gallery
51 looks like park gate with the buildings
I agree with Tubbs on 50 and 52

51 is hoylake. the little white building othe left is the toilets

Id say:

48 - Frankby Road, looking towards Greasby.

49 - Lady Leverhulme Art Gallery, in Port Sunlight Village.

50 - Where the Kingsway tunnel is now. But when that photo was taken it was the Seacombe branch of the Wirral Railway. If memory serves me correctly, on the approce road to the tunnel, it used to be a train station called "Liscard & Poulton" and was in a cutting, the same cutting which is used for the Kingsway Tunnel approach road.

51 - West Kirby, where Morrisons and the Marine Lake is now, they would have been just down the road from that shot. If you go along the prom now, you will notice what I mean, also the prom comes to an abrupt end where that building is located on the very left of the photograph.

52 - Between Meols and Hoylake, along the prom, where the tennis courts are now.
