Just come across this picture. It says Liscard, but I`m sure its Birkenhead.

Hi Zip, if you zoom in to the sign behind the lampost it says Grange road so I think you're right.

I wonder if its that shop where you go downstairs, used to sell tons of Christmas Decorations many moons ago. I did buy a venetian blind from there too.

I think the half-timbered building on the right (National and Provincial) was W H Smith back in the old days.

I think the board may say "Grange Road Grill". The shop it's outside was Robb's, with many departments so they probably did both Christmas decorations and Venetian blinds.

I finally got round to scanning the pic of The Mill on the Breck, 1860 - drawing, not photo, but interesting nevertheless. Also one of St. Hilary's Church from somewhere on teh way to Bidston, I think, and one of Wallasey tram routes. My grandfather used to have a postcard collection, apparently - I never saw it. It went missing while he was in the nursing home. It's always the way, isn't it - if I'd known then what I know now, I would have loved to see them.
Just realised I have to upload to photobucket before I can post! Might take some time...

Hmm... I thought a picture would come up! More work needed on this, when the Shiraz has worn off...
