Cheers Ian, Glad someone likes them. I just hope people save them to their computers as the kids of today are not interested in the past and will soon be forgotten.

It's actually Wallasey Village , the Cheshire Cheese would be just behind photographers right shoulder , the building jutting out in the distance is the old Black Horse .

This pic is same location from the opposite direction .

I was mistaken about it being the Black Horse , it's the corner of Folly Lane [now Broadway]& was Mrs. Campbells Newsagents in the early 1900's .
