Forums Forums Wirral History : Chasing the Past Wirral History Wirral History group meets

I don't post much on here but i read daily. I'm actualy home next weekend for a race in Leeds and not traveling back down to London until Sunday evening so i'm intrested in going. Problem is i usualy do a long run Sunday morning from 9-11 around Arrowe, Roydon, Caldy Hill, Wekka beach to Heswall, Irby and back. I could always run earlier. Maybe you could post on here what time you estimate to be at each location and i can meet you guys there?

myself and the wife would be up for it ,but unfortunatly we dont drive either if it involves driving to the locations

Hi Jordan; I plan to go to the Wirral Museum first. (Hamilton Square). I reckon we'll be there at 10-30. After that, it becomes a bit uncertain. Hope you can join us.

Cheers, Chris.

Hi, Jonno (& Mrs. Jonno); If you're prepared to PM me your address, I'll gladly pick you up, since I'm driving from Shrewsbury anyway.

Cheers, Chris.

P.S. is it deffo going to be 27th January cause if i change my work days as i work sunday nights and nothin happens i'll be dissapointed cause i'll have to give notice in tonight..

weather permitting it will be mate

Groovy i know the priory inside an out

If you need a lift lemme know fella.

okierly doke cheers mate

I'm as certain as I can be that this will happen. The only outdoor bit I wanted to include was a trip to the Woodside ventilation shaft, for anyone who hasn't seen it up close, because it's a really beautiful piece of Art Deco & all the decoration is done using just the one brick.
Lee; I wouldn't have thought this would clash with you working Sunday night. I reckon we'll be finished before 4pm.

Cheers, Chris.

okierly doke Another thing we should do one day is do the Queens Way tunnel tour Although a few peeps on here have already been

Going from the following time's:

- Tramway & Transport Museum: Sat & Sun 13:00 - 17:00
- Wirral Museum: Tue - Sun 10:00 - 17:00
- Birkenhead Priory: Sat & Sun 10:00 - 16:00

I propose the following itinerary:

1. Visit the Priory
2. Visit the Museum
3. Visit the Tramway
4. Visit the Transport Museum (interlinked with the Tramway anyway).

Im thinking, the priory is a good start to ensure we get there with good time, then we can spend a few hours if needs be in the museum, then we will be out by about 3ish to go to the Tramway and Transport Museum?

Not strict timing or anything, but it just ensures we get plenty of time in the two museum's and we manage to visit all the locations. We could always swap the museum visit over with the tramway visit if that sounds better to peeps but as the museum is open earlier then the Tramway, I thought that would be most appropriate.

Do we have to look Japaneses ?
I bet we all have a camera and a mack lol

Even if the weather is crap, should still be fun.

Yes, we all have to be constantly taking pictures of one another & I'll have a large coloured umbrella that you all have to follow.

Matt; I'd rather we went to the Wirral Museum first, since in a previous post I've told Jordan we'll be there about 10-30. I reckon an hour in there will be enough for a first visit. The archives won't be open, of course. We'll have plenty of time for the rest. I only intended this to be a taster visit, since everyone may have different ideas of where they want to spend more time & can re-visit later.

Lee; yes, the Queensway tour is well worth doing.
