It is still there but I'm not sure what is done there nowadays
possibly supplying meals for homeless persons? The only up to date web-site I've found for it labels it as part of 'Liverpool City Mission' but it does give a bit more info about its history and say what they still do now. The site states that the Birkenhead Mission opened in 1892, but I think that was when they relocated. http://www.livercm.org.uk/page929.htmlAny pictures anyone?

The 1891 census has Charles Thompson residing at 6 Beckwith St with his family and his occupation was Superintendent of Children 's Mission.

Where has everyone gone to?
I posted a reply to Pinz's post last night, both relating to posts on page 6 but for some reason they were both deleted.
I said I had been looking for Bert's flys, as he said there weren't any anymore. Anyway I didn't find any, but I did meet a friend on route who took me back to the false teeth subject.
The mother of my friend had a friend who bought her daughter a pair of false teeth for her 21st birthday!
I can't think of anything to say about that, it's either hysterial or tragic depending on your thought process.

I saw your post last night about the flies, but now I too see that it has gone, how strange...do moderators remove posts willy nilly I wonder? There was nothing rude you'd written so I wonder why it would have been taken off? Hmmm, very odd

I remember something about teeth. I think up to age 21 you could get false teeth for nothing(NHS) but after that you had to pay. I remember a guy named Donny Shields who used boast about he was getting all his teeth out before he turned 21 and getting a false set.

A memory I have as a child is having a tooth removed and the big rubber mask being placed over my mouth for gassing, then remembering nothing until standing at the bus stop with my mum and me throwing up down a grid. I also seem to remember what would have been some years later being asked on a visit to the dentist would I prefer gas or cocaine before a tooth was extracted.

All this talk of Berts flies is rather intriguing. Zip or buttons Bert?
The dentist of old. Well butcher would be more appropriate especially when talking about the school dentist. I think most kids in those days were traumatised for life by a visit there.

Welcome back into the tent granny! Don't know where those posts have gone. We were concerned about your comment "I might not be back" etc. Come back in. Just enough fuel left to light the Primus. You can have the last of the pemican and shut that bloody tent flap !!!!

Seconded...I have vivid memories of going to a dentist on Seabank Rd. I wasn't completely under as he started to pull a tooth and started to flail. Scared me stiff.
