Here is a copy of the Birkenhead & Chester Advertiser Diamond Jubilee Souvenir edition from 1913, most of the material is talking about up to 60 years previous ie 1853.

There are some pages missing in the middle, sorry, might be able to track them down.

I hope the quality is acceptable, I have tried to keep files as small as possible to make downloading easier, most are between 200k and 400k and are hosted off-site from WikiWirral.

Enjoy

Showing at the new theatre royal 'the gayest of the gay' by arthur shirley & eric hudson, that would have been an interesting showing. Interesting read, well apart from that I could only read the large print stuff like advertisments, the column print was too small to read on my mobile on the go.

Interesting reading and i know Merseyman is only joking but it just shows how the English language has been hijacked and misused in modern day times. I did like the Armste Lager advert, Lager being strongly recommended by Medical men, containing very little alcohol.

God help us,
Come yourself,
Don't send Jesus,
