Hoylake Road, going through Bidston Village 1925.

This was before the Ford Estate and the M53

Wow I can picture this, be good to get a google earth view of how it is now for comparison!

That's a brilliant photo - crime what has happenned to Bidston Village especially!

Even station road isnt there and my old house on Statham road is just the bottom of someone's garden.

If you look into the very far distance (top right), is that the Hillbark when it used to be located on the mops? Wow, I could look at that photo all day. I live on the Ford estate, looking at that is astonishing, brilliant photo pablo, thanks

Better eyes than me - but yes you can just see the end of Eleanor Road and the 'v' formed by Vyner road and Ford Hill.
It was called Bidston Court then, of course - only receiving the name Hillbark when it moved replacing an older Hillbark on the site.
