Hi Everyone,
I'm wondering if anyone has any old pics of the Holt hill Convent and grounds in Tranmere.
I'm asking because I now live in the grounds and I'm interested in the history of the place.
Many thanks for reading my post.

You might want to re-post this request on the history section, but here's a link with a bit of info on the convent to get you started anyway. Good luck:

The convent also has it's own website:

I think it might also come under Holt House, Tranmere on your search engine.

I'm sorry I didnt post this request message in the right place, but I just could not find the "POST" button on the History Page, maybe I'm just an old duffer.:-(

Sorry again.

Many thanks to everyone that sent me Links in, Wonderful, I have spent happy moments reading and looking at all the pictures of the Convent and the insides.
I was intrigued by the Sandstone Post at the end of Elm Grove, like many others, I have walk right past it many-many times without noticing it has the wrong (or strange)Street Name, sure has me wondering.
I'm refering to the link [url=https://www.wikiwirral.co.uk/forums/ubbthreads.php/topics/586378/Road_name_on_Pillar.html#Post586378][/url]

Thanks everyone
