Ted Walker used to work in a pub off Exmouth Street. Do you or others remember him?

Hi,
looking at an old map of Birkenhead, surveyed in 1872-75, published 1882, Fox Street is shown as Brougham Street and the Mission Hall is also shown.

Not sure when the changeover happened, the snippet is from, 12 January, 1876, in the Newspaper, Baner Ac Amserau Cymru.

Fox Street was also recorded in the 1881 census.

1874 map shows Brougham Street off Union St, near Peel St, Tranmere. It's also recorded in the 1911 census close to Union St and Peel St.

Both existed at the same time and I assume one was dropped to save confusion.

Two Streets away from Fox/Brougham Street, Bentinck Terrace became Gordon Street around the same period.


There's a real danger that the left will drag Britain back to the 1970s, with secure well-paid jobs, ample housing, properly-funded NHS and social care, free tuition, student grants, final salary pensions, affordable rail fares and fabulous films and music. David Osland 2025
