Thanks for the info' guys. My Mum lived there as a girl but I've never known where it was.

P.S. where do you access the old street maps of Birkenhead?

My map with the house numbers on was given to me by someone in separate parts and stitched together. (don't know where from tho)
You can get a Godfrey 1909 Birkenhead paper map (£2-50) from the main library,not sure if at Waterstones Grange Road as well.
Also google Godfrey maps to order.
Also try old-maps.com to view some maps online.
The library and the archives have other maps for looking at

That's great, Derek. Looking at some of the old streets of my childhood, that are not around any more, brings back a few memories.
