i am looking for 1950s copies of the birkenhead news.

Go to the archive offices down by woodside, they have every copy of the News and Globe. You have to make an appointment so they have time to dig the copies out for you.

Are we allowed to copy them?

The last time I was at the archives looking at the Birkenhead News, the only way to copy them was to take a photograph. Free of charge but the lady did comment, this may change in the future.

Thanks bert
