Here are a few pics showing Ackers Road, Home Farm Road & Common Field Road in about 1953, when all the grass verges, etc, were being landscaped.
I'm not sure of the exact location of the last pic. Does anyone out there recognize exactly where it is? It's probably changed a lot by now...

Good photographs marty! Great to see the place so uncluttered !

great pics thanks, and i think the last photo would be where grasswood road meets carrbridge road

Amazing, the width between houses and road, which would have been maintained by the council! Here, we are lucky to get footpath edges.They don't do 'pavements' any more!
Here's a couple from the Birkenhead Guide, 1951.

Wow, they all look like something from a Doris Day film here lol. Amazing pix!

The life guard in the swimming baths is Jimmy Havran I worked there with him in 1981. He retired about '86.

Thanx, it could be. I'll have to check that out.

Just checked it out on Bing's 'Bird's Eye' view & it looks like you're spot on. And, surprisingly, it doesn't appear to have changed that much at all...

fernybrow road? one going up on left

These pics are brilliant, i've lived on the woodchuch estate for 6 years and these pics are an eye opener. Keep them coming.

The first of those two pictures is Numbers 1 to 11 Newhey Road. They back directly onto the Asda loading bay.

Had to reply to this one, I'm a relatively new member looking through all the old posts, I lived in no 7 New Hey Rd on this photograph with my parents. We moved up to the Woodchurch in 1954 when I was 11, it was my last week in Cole St primary school, I remember the space all round (apart from the hot water and indoor plumbing, no more tin baths by the fire)we moved from Mornington St., middle of town, when I saw all those fields, wow, we used to go out exploring all day when we weren't in school, got married in 1964 and moved back downtown, thanks for posting this photograph.
