Forums Forums Wirral History : Chasing the Past Wirral History 96 highfield road rock ferry

my brother rang me earlier to tell me a story of the house we used to live in,seems he was the only one that didnt know!i remember the lady that lived next door was very old and had lived there most of her life and told my mum a lot of stories about our house.but my brother found a link...

this is the one that stuck in my mind!

Sad story this. i got information on this as well.
the shop is now a takeaway place.and strange enough they are doing up the flat above,
Thanks for sharing with us x

I'm hoping that attached is a link to the back entry in Spencer Avenue, behind 96 Highfield Road, showing the telegraph pole where little Nellie's body was found.

Apologies if it doesn't work (not linked before!).

Google Maps

thats my old back gate,would anyone be able to find the history of the house and what was there before?

Looks to be just a blank plot of land, I think.
