Forums Forums Wirral History : Chasing the Past History Information Request Green Lane/New Chester Road flats

Does anyone have a picture of the flats that used to stand at the junction of New Chester Road and Green Lane, Birkenhead, almost opposite the main gate of Cammell Lairds? Or has anyone got a map which shows them? The flats were two-storey redbrick tenement style, and were demolished in the late 60s or early 70s.

called green lane flats ,

Haven't got any pics, but are they on this map? (about 1955)

Thanks for the map, chriskay. I'm sure the flats are those two long rectangular blocks just south of Green Lane, fronting New Chester Road.

some pics
hope these help
went to a sake party there once
First time I drank sake can't remember if I passed out or how I got home
Quite a few of the Tannery workers lived there

Thanks for the brilliant pictures, derekdwc. The top one, showing the council flats, is exactly what I'm looking for. I wonder if you've got a slightly sharper scan of it? On the second picture, 'Victorian artisans' dwellings' is that the corner of Green Lane and Mason Street? I wonder if you can make it out from the street signs? Thanks once again.
