Does any one know where i can find any information on the troops that were hospitalised here, ? as my Mum's father was killed in this house during the bombing raid.
My Grand father was recovering from an injury here , all my mum knows that he was in the British Army when He died here, I have tried the usual army records, but unless you were an officer not much info was kept..
I just hope there are local news paper reports on the bombing but up to now I have not come across any, !
I do know it was a girls school being used my the Army during the war, and i have visited area of the site where there is a new girls school built now.

The new girl's school is much further West along Breck Road (towards the Village) than the location of Darley Dene. I am still looking for my maps to confirm but I think the house Darley Dene (previously The Slopes) was more or less where the car wash is now

5 Precepts of Buddhism seem appropriate. Refrain from taking life. Refrain from taking that which is not given. Refrain from misconduct. Refrain from lying. Refrain from intoxicants which lead to loss of mindfulness

I put them "somewhere safe" - and you KNOW that means I can't find them. There is quite a packet of maps so they MUST be here somewhere.

Darley Dene was located where the "B" of the B5145 sign is on this.

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

Wow ! Like the bus service, your waiting for one then a stack of them roll up
Thanks all !
I answer so much info, here and via site e-mails, that sometimes I miss some questions relating to Wallasey. A reminder in a post to bring it back to the attention of forum members is required sometimes (as well as a prod with a stick to the ribs!!)
