Thanks all of you for keeping this post going,it's fantastic. Do any of you have photos of the tower grounds and it's fairground? I spent many a summer holiday there as my Gran, worked there and I used to stay with her a couple of weeks every year... A child's dream, two weeks in a fairground.
The Royal Picture House, King Street, Egremont. Was a Bingo Hall, Then Rocket Ronnies Snooker Hall. Still a snooker place I think. Also The Irving Theatre, Borough Road. Used to be The Empress Club, then a bingo hall
AH ! Looks like she's been shut out...... do you love cats Zipper ?

Re The Shepherds Rest, yes it was the first pub in Wallasey with draught Stella, it was 5/- a pint (25p) which everyone thought was extortionate. Great times and I remember Jack Randles being the boss.
it wasn't really a castle. Locals gave it that name but it's proper name was Marine Villa. It belonged to a John Marden (Seabank Road was originally Marsden's Lane). John Marsden manufactured brooms, hence it became Broom Castle, then Liscard Castle
Actually the entrance gates to Sea View or Seaview House, later renamed The Anchorage, the property next door to Liscard Castle. As for the latter, all surviving maps from the mid-1850s onwards clearly name the property as Liscard Castle, so it wasn't called Marine Villa for very long.
