There's a real danger that the left will drag Britain back to the 1970s, with secure well-paid jobs, ample housing, properly-funded NHS and social care, free tuition, student grants, final salary pensions, affordable rail fares and fabulous films and music. David Osland 2025

Here are two aerial picture of the tunnel approach system including the Conway St flyover. There is a PDF somewhere on wikiwirral of the scheme (which is where I got 1st picture).

If you can't find it then PM me - or someone PM me to tell me how to put a pdf up (I am not very forum savvy - sorry).

Look for (our) soundlad on youtube - he has put up loads of brilliant stuff - thanks Lee.

One of my favourites is "Birkenhead - The 1960's & 70's" which unusually wasn't soundlad - this has Grange Road, Oak & Eldon and even the Coop Dairy on Swan Hill.
