Forums Forums Wirral History : Chasing the Past Wirral Now and Then Re-Photography

Hi, I'm new here so please be patient.I've arrived at the suggestion of Paul, who runs Liberator38.co.uk.
He has kindly given me permission to use his images for a project I've started.The idea of re-photography is to get an old photo with recognisable details then take the scene again today.You then combine the 2.Hopefully I'll have uploaded a couple images to give you the idea.OK, I've uploaded 2 images but don't have a clue were they are.Hopefully you can find them and let me know what you think.

Welcome
Cracking idea.

Is that not the junction of Grove Road & Warren Drive by the roundabout in front of The Wallaseans Club?

Hey Neil, welcome. Glad you took my advice and joined. Members here will benefit greatly from your contribution. I have seen other examples of your work and they are simply breathtaking.

looks like it to me

More pics please

The name at the bottom sort of gives it a clue.

Thanks for the welcome, to save time and typeing all the pictures so far are here

Great idea to do it with our local history

Thanks, hadn't seen Retronaut, I got the idea from Sergey Larenkov....

Would like to do this type of thing but we haven't had a war in Wallasey, unless anyone has some identifiable Blitz Damage images ?

Theres a book called wallasey at war you could get the images from? think its only a tenner.

try these pics - not war tho

Thanks Derek, still got quite a few for New Brighton and Liscard to do but way spread further afield later.

Awesome pics, especially liking Victoria Road with the Oval Beetle
