The book on the Dock Cottages is called Up Our Lobby,
reminiscences of life in the Dock Cottages, Birkenhead, between 1915-1938, by Bill Houldin. It's a very good read.

My greatgrandmother was living at no 9B block Dock Cottages when she got married in 1877. Not all the people who lived there where dock workers in as much as been dockers. All the various trades men that where needed so as the shiping industry could function where also housed in the dock cottages. Her father my great great grandfather {paternal}was a Blacksmith by trade.

At least it was there own thunderbox, unlike a lot of terraced cottages that had to share a thunder box that was at the end of the row of terrace. those dock cttages must have been a palace compared to a lot of the places people where living in at that time.
