I have a video of joe ringing the bell at the top lol

Our Tram Ride Adventure & And the site of the new submarine
which will come from wallasey.

Its going to be cut into 5 sections with perspex so people
can see through it. And currently there is no visitors center
at woodside

Pictures of the Woodside ventilation shaft.

What i didn't realise until Chris showed us
was the unique brick sizes

Now at the Transport Museum and i have to say if you didn't
know it was there you wouldn't even know it was there!

I have some video's but they will take a bit of time to sort out.

Hope you enjoyed the pictures as i enjoyed the day out.

As i mentioned above,
feel free to use any of the above pictures to include in
new or existing topics.

Thanks again chris, you made it a great day out

As already mentioned, thanks to Chris for showing us around these places and telling us your knowledge and memories.

Cheers to Matty for the lift and to Mark for cheering the missus up, oh and to pomp just for being there

Shame no-one else turned up though.

Anyway, here's some of my photos of the Wirral Museum:



Matty got robbed of 10p!!!

Where Woodside Train Station once stood.

I hope you all enjoyed the trip as much as I did; we must do it again some time. Having said that, every time I come up, I leave feeling a bit sad; although I haven't lived there for 50 years, I still think of it as home. Sometimes I think I should move back, then I think "well, it's only 1 1/2 hours away & where I live there aren't as many scallies & I'd miss my friends here". Thanks for the pics. so far; looking forward to seeing the videos. Anyone who wants old maps should look at www.alangodfreymaps.co.uk
Mark; I think your road should be on the Bidston map.
Here's the only pic. I took & even that's a bit out of focus.

Cheers, Chris.

I WANT HIS BABYS!!!
