Forums Forums Wirral History : Chasing the Past Wirral History BIRDS HOUSE

Thanks for uploading the pics Mariejane.

I've been comparing them to the ones Marty posted on the first page of the thread. Lovely how some things (furnishings etc) were still the same as 60 odd years ago.

Wishing your Great Nan every happiness in her new home

Thankyou mariejane.
Hope it wasn't too traumatic for your G.Grandmother and she has settled into her new home.

Thank you for the pics Mariejane. Please give a big hug to great gran from me and I am sure form all of us

Snod

this thread is so emotive...on one hand its great the house is going to be restored but at the same time sad at you great nan leaving the house after 91 years....i hope ur nan is happy in her new home xxx

Yes rocketqueen. Well said. Ditto comments from me also.

I can only re-iterate all of the above sentiments.

Thank you mariejane for sharing such personal photographs and giving us all an insight into your great nan's life in that house.

The building itself will inevitably get altered and never be quite the same again, but your great nan will forever remain as part of its wonderful history.

Thankyou everyone! She has moved into like a residential place so that she can get better care. She was understandably upset at first but she has settled in now. We told her about this forum when she first moved and she was made up that people were thinking about the house.
She was relieved that someone is buying and restoring the house too .

Thank you so much mariejane for sharing all those photographs and memories. I can't imagine what it must be like moving out of a house you have lived in for 90 years, but I really hope your great grandmother won't miss it too much. I hope too we can find some way of honouring her in the restored house as such an important part of its history. Please give her my very best wishes.

When is tha auction?

Hi Two Wheels

I currently work with your son in Bromborough for a Property / Energy consultancy .

He has mentioned you have recently purchased the old house in Lime Kiln Lane. Congratulations on your purchase and i'm glad an experienced Architect has purchased the property rather than Wirral council we can rest assured the building is safe.

I'd like to welcome you to Wiki, and im sure TK has told you all about My interest in Urban Expolaration, Architecture and Wirral's history in general. The same goes for our other work colleague TD.

If you need a hand with anything at the property, let us know and we'd be more than happy to lend a hand.

Good Luck

Has the sale gone through?

No sorry Bezzy mate, it's still only in the process, his son was telling me the other day that his dad was in the process of acquiring the property and i was under the asumption it had gone through, on reading back through the thread i realised the sale hadn't completed, but given twowheels is an experienced architect and is restoring the house back to its former glory i don't see any reason why the sale shouldnt go through lol

Daft question mariejane, but one of the photos you put up shows a stuffed animal in a glass case. By any chance is this an otter?

I only ask because I recently came across a story saying that the last otter ever seen at Bidston Moss was captured by someone from Bird House. I wonder if this is the same one??

Thankyou,can't help but worry until it is all signed and sealed!

I just hope that it is sooner rather than later!
