Cross Lane Moreton. Where was this? I assume that like Station road becoming Pasture road when Moreton became part of Wallasey, the name was changed or just disappeared?

It's a long shot, but there's a Cross Lane leading off Leasowe Road by Lidl - perhaps it extended much further in those days?

As Greenwood says, Maybe Cross Lane is the one with the dogs home off Leasowe Road.
I`ll delve more tomorrow.

Moreton Cross

Pasture Road Bridge

Seacombe ferry, docks

Mr Daly was lucky :-)
Yes, I know he was not there then......
At least now you know why there are no shops next to him, bombed.

Derby Pool, Harrison Drive

Mother Redcaps, bit hard to make it all out

Entitled Ringobells, Wallasey Village. Is it a pub on the end or just an advert?. Bert... You may know.

My dad built that road, all by himself :-))

Bidston Station

Pub, not just an advert, corner of School Lane I think, cottages known locally as Ring O' Bells cottages.
In 1892 the pub was tied to Yates & Company, Landlord, Thomas Titley found himself before the magistrates for opening on a Sunday.

The corner of School Lane and Wallasey Village is correct. This is the Breck Road end before Wallasey Village was widened.
The pub stood opposite the Cheshire Cheese pub, which is still there.
Houses were built on the land that would have been behind the Ring O'Bells. They were subsequently demolished (bomb damage?)to be replaced by the low rise apartments that are there now.

Thanks Guys, I recognise the place now. I think Bert has posted a map a few times of the two pubs.
Just found a copy.
