Great pics. My Grandad (now 94) and his to-be brother in law were larking about in the lake, they fell in and got soaked.

They used it to their advantage though- later telling a couple of young ladies that they were wet because they had rescued a lass who had fell in the Mersey. laugh

Don't want to rain on your parade but most of these can be found in local history books plus the many facebook pages such as old pics of New Brighton etc.

You should add some facts. The photo of the Plough Inn for instance is the one on Breck Road, not Moreton. Building still there but the pub long gone. Supposedly haunted?

Some kid in one of your photo's is Tony Ryder whose family owned numerous stalls and rides in the tower grounds. Died around 1972.

Guinness clock despite many people telling it was not in Vale park but in the tower grounds above Tommy Manns railway and near the Rockpoint Castle Restaurant and bar. Watched it many times. There is one left in existence and I think that is in the Guinness museum in Dublin?

Too many to comment on individually after the fact but hope you get my drift?

At least one of those photo's is copyright but has been reproduced that many times that I think the owners (a very large company) have given up on it. I note someone has put their moniker on it which is very cheeky in my humble. Photo's are for sharing but people should not suggest they own them. Some photographs I took myself have appeared on websites with no acknowledgement to the owner and to make it worse their own details on them. Not you of course but the people whose site it came from.

I'm enjoying all these photos too; it's kind of you to take the trouble to post them, whether or not they're captioned or already in books somewhere. I grew up in Wallasey (born in '52). Spent a lot of time at New Brighton baths in my ghastly little ruched swimsuit, dabbling round the shallow fringes and climbing up the fountains! I can still remember the clanking sound of the turnstile gate and the brightness of the water beyond, and all the pale green and cream walls. My cousin, when he was older, could dive off the top board. <meep>
Funny thing is, I have no memories of the pier. I don't understand why. I remember Victoria Road and the fairground - the waltzer made me feel sick, but there was a ride there called the Miami Twist that I found easier to tolerate.
There was a comment about a road having lost a lot of trees; I grew up on Broadway Avenue which used to be lined with elms, but Dutch Elm Disease put paid to all that, and it was bare of trees for quite a long time. That might have been what happened.

Top of Tower dismantles, so after 1921. Odd that the pic has 2 crosses either side.. I have seen it quite a few times, I think it was on the original photo.

The Anti aircraft gun was new in the 50s there is some pictures of it being hauled in, they are on New Brighton pictures, the gun was sold off and is supposed to be on the East coast of the USA, as a kid I can remember getting shouted at messing about with the controls, if my memory is correct it didn't have the breech block, bought in the days when the MOD sold off war suplus by the ton, not via EBAy as the old aircraft carriers were sold off. .

Guinness Clock, Vale Park


The Guinness Clock

by Tony Franks-Buckley


It was the brainchild of the Guinness Advertising Manager Martin Pick, who had trained as an engineer before he entered the world of advertising. The Clock was designed by the firm of Lewitt Him and took five months for clockmakers Baume and Co Ltd. of Hatton Garden to construct. Standing 25 feet high, the Clock's internal mechanism was highly elaborate and included nine reversible electric motors and three synchronous clocks.



No clock of comparable complexity had been made in England for 300 years. Every fifteen minutes the crowds were spellbound by the four and a half minute routine featuring well known characters from Guinness advertisements which everybody knew at the time. The 'Guinness animals' were the creation of artist John Gilroy of S.H.Benson's advertising agency. He produced a series of colourful and amusing posters in which different zoo animals made off with their keeper's Guinness! (The zoo keeper was actually a caricature of Gilroy himself.)



The menagerie included a sealion (balancing a glass of Guinness on its nose), an ostrich (who had just swallowed a glass of Guinness whole), a pelican, bear, lion, tortoise, kangaroo, crocodile and even an upside-down kinkajou. The most famous of all, however, was the Guinness toucan who retained the public's affection from his debut in 1935 right up to his final retirement in 1982. Guinness also made use of characters from Lewis Carroll's book 'Alice in Wonderland' in its advertising in the 1930s-50s. We might think it unheard of now to use characters from a children's book to advertise beer, but at the time it was quite acceptable. This explains why the Mad Hatter, with his fishing rod, appears on the Guinness Festival Clock, along with the zoo keeper, toucans and other Guinness animals.



The original Guinness Clock proved so popular that Guinness received enquiries from a number of local authorities, department stores and exhibition promoters who all wanted to borrow it for display. This inspired the building of slightly smaller 'travelling versions' of the clock, the first two of which were ready by September 1952. One went to Morecambe loaded on a Guinness trailer to be installed at Happy Mount Park as the main feature of the town's illuminations. It remained there until October 21st and was seen by thousands of people, young and old, as they walked through the park. Next it appeared in the fifth floor exhibition hall of John Lewis store in Manchester where, although it had to be dismantled to negotiate the stairs and the centre well, it was back in working order within three days. The other clock went to Southend's Western Esplanade as part of the seaside town corporation's illuminations. In all weathers and at all times people gathered to see the clock go through its routine. From Southend it went to Park Royal, where it stayed for a short time before moving on to Berwick-on-Tweed, where it stood in front of the town hall for the Christmas festivities. In all eight travelling Guinness Clocks and one miniature (5ft high) version were constructed, and they were seen at many places including Paignton, Barry Island, Folkestone, South Shields, Leamington Spa, the Isle of Sheppey, Chester, Warrington, Brighton, New Brighton, Southsea, Bristol, Great Yarmouth and Butlin's Holiday Camp, Ayr, Scotland (illustrated).

The clocks toured seaside towns for seven years or more and also made appearances at trade fairs, carnivals, agricultural shows and in department stores. One went to the USA on loan for two years, and two went to Ireland.



On June 9th 1959 another Guinness Clock appeared called the Guinness Time Piece (pictured left), which also became known as the Guinness Clock. This was an even more elaborate mechanical contraption, built in three sections, weighing four tons, and mounted on the back of a trailer for easy transportation. It was designed by John Lansdell and Willy Szoomanski and manufactured by F.B.Elcom Ltd.



As with the original Guinness Clocks, every quarter of an hour brought a frenzied burst of activity from an assortment of Guinness animals and their keeper accompanied by fairground music. In the centre a revolving stage with four set pieces showed Guinness in every season of the year and to the right in front of the caravan the ever-harassed keeper is chased by various animals from door to door. At first the keeper has the bottle of Guinness, then a few moments later, they all reappear, now running in the other direction, with the brown bear in front with the bottle being chased by the keeper. It was first exhibited at the Guinness Bicentenary Garden Party that summer then set off on its travels via Battersea Pleasure Gardens where it stayed for a fortnight. Since the Clocks' mechanism could easily be affected by wind, it was necessary to have an electrician standing by. He would also be responsible for counting the visitors to the clock.

Changing times were soon to doom these travelling mechanical wonders. Guinness no longer used the animals in its advertisements, and spare parts for the clocks became difficult to obtain. They were finally withdrawn in October 1966 and sent for scrap - a sad end to a much-loved and unique form of Guinness advertising.

The older than you , is between 1892 and 1900, looks more 1892, reason, the Royal Engineers were remodelling the fort, and had removed all the guns and had not yet worked on the walls or removed the old gun positions and the gun tower at the rear of the fort is there also the gun slots in the front wall haven't been blocked up by the west tower.

But then it looks like a painting, so artistic licence leaving the guns out but the ship is a steamer. laugh

I have seen lots of postcards with bits added, one is a liner sailing between the fort and the shore. I have a pic somewhere, hopefully it will turn up. The water would have not been deep enough, I wouldn`t sail a ferry boat between the fort and the shore and they are flat bottomed.

Seen a jet go between the fort and the lighthouse even a couple of seals messing about over that stone abortion runs from the fort past the light, that thing is damaging the fort walls, concentrating the tide directly into the walls, the google map of the fort gives a better idea of what I mean.

Have you any close up pictures of the fort, especially the top of the glacis, I don't go to the place anymore but it still interests me.

How intriguing - I never thought of the number of pages showing differently on different machines. Certainly not using a phone - my 'one step up from steam-powered' phone doesn't even have a camera! I'm using a laptop. I'll remember to quote the post number in future if I need to - a good tip, that.

Herculaneum Dock, Dingle, Liverpool. Train runs under the houses there and you could hear them rumble. The comedy series "Bread" was filmed just up on the left. I have relatives living in the next road. The view was fantastic as a kid looking down at the ships and trains. Always looked a million feet down.. still does :-)

Oakdale Road 1970. This is the only picture I can find of the Childrens Nursery. Also shown is the garage for the Rank, Hovis, McDougall wagons. St Joeys Church, Citrine Road, Little Blue Invacar, The Swings. My dad worked in the building this Photo was taken, at the bottom of Oakdale Road, just after the curve... I remember him waving to me when I was about 5. I think they had their breaks on the top of the roof. A Smoke break maybe?.

Ah yes, cheers again. Pity someone didn`t have the time to put all these on a website on their own, all with descriptions etc.. I did think of doing it but it would take ages and as I sleep for England at times I`d never get it done. Websites come and go, some of my pics came from 2 that are no more and maybe the pictures could be lost forever. I suppose as we get older, most of the younger generation wouldn`t care at all if these pictures where never seen at all. :-(

Hi Granny, I know where it was, but it seems so odd for a building that shape to be a pub. What is more weird is that it was demolished in the 1930`s and I seem to remember the building when I was a kid, lets say about 1959. Maybe I`m re-incarnated lol

Salthoouse Dock was a terminal for the salt industry at that time. Can't see why HMS 'anything' would be berthed there.

'The Highfields' ? June 1897 next stop Calcutta 109 days(she sunk in 1902)

http://www.lookandlearn.com/history...mg=12&cat=naylon-maritime-collection

I thought Maritime Museum would have known better.

HMS Eaglet was HMS Eagle originally, re-named about 1918. Destroyed by fire in 1926 . The new Eaglet was berthed in Salthouse dock and was originally a 24 class sloop HMS Sir Bevis from the First World War.(according to Wikipedia)

Just a note on post #902971 - '1910s Liner at Liverpool pierhead.' - That ship is either the RMS Baltic, Cedric, Celtic, or Adriatic (White Star Line). My Grandad was on the Cedric and Baltic when they were troopships in WW1.

I think the board may say "Grange Road Grill". The shop it's outside was Robb's, with many departments so they probably did both Christmas decorations and Venetian blinds.
I know the black and white building well; I worked there in 1953 when it was W.H.Smith's.

I finally got round to scanning the pic of The Mill on the Breck, 1860 - drawing, not photo, but interesting nevertheless. Also one of St. Hilary's Church from somewhere on teh way to Bidston, I think, and one of Wallasey tram routes. My grandfather used to have a postcard collection, apparently - I never saw it. It went missing while he was in the nursing home. It's always the way, isn't it - if I'd known then what I know now, I would have loved to see them.

Just realised I have to upload to photobucket before I can post! Might take some time...

You don't have to go via photobucket.
If you use "reply" (not quick reply) you will see below the text box the underlined "upload manager". When you click on this, and then on "browse" you can navigate to where your picture is on your hard drive. Select what you want and then "add file". The pic is then attached to your post. Make sure you don't exceed the size limits which are shown in upload manager.

That's interesting - I'd got that tramways postcard to somewhere between 1900 and 1920, so that bit about Warren Station puts it before 1915. I grew up on Broadway Avenue which, on this map, is still called Townfield Lane. Rolleston Drive hasn't been built to link Belvidere Road and Sea Road, either.

I wouldn't be too sure about the date of the postcard. It must originally have been produced while the station was still there, but it could have been re-printed later from the original plate in order to save the cost of producing a new one.

From the picture Zip, I see Warren Station was immediately next to the bridge over Sea Road. Note the change from transverse sleepers to the longitudinal beams on the down line. These beams were usual when the rails were carried over a bridge.

I was wondering if the picture was taken immediately prior to electricfication (1938). Note what looks like concrete cable troughing stacked on the platform ready for laying. Maybe for the 3rd rail cabling? I doubt if they would be for phone circuits, as at that time all phone and telegraph routes were open wire on poles, crossarms and insulators*.

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.

Judging by the colour of the stone,these photos must have been taken just after Riverside School was built. I remember it had a decorated tile work saying,Riverside Board school and the date,which I would dearly like to remember.There don't seem to be many photos of the old school about.It was a bit of a Victorian Gothic pile,but it served me well as a starter!

As a matter of interest, the i-pad-like items the children in the schoolroom are holding are slates. They were used in school because paper and pencils were expensive. It seems you can still get them.

They were horribly squeaky; the pencil was also slate. You rubbed them clean with a damp rag.

I bought one of these a few years ago. It's always on the kitchen worktop by the phone. Handy for making quick notes. Saves on paper too! Attach the slate pencil to the board with a piece of string. It saves the pencil going walkabout.

Wallasey Road was an ancient thoroughfare leading from Liscard Village to Wallasey Village. In this view we are looking back towards the centre of Liscard in the distance, in the centre, can be seen the Bank of Liverpool and Martin’s built in 1908.
The stone wall on the left surrounds the builders’ merchant’s yard of W. B. Howarth who occupied the premises for many years. An ancient cottage called ‘Clairville’ is said to have stood previously on the site, which was successively occupied by, among others, Safeway’s supermarket, Netto and J. D. Wetherspoon’s. On the right, the ‘Yates’ public house is the Castle Hotel. This road is now part of the one-way system around Liscard.

On the right, the ‘Yates’ public house is the Castle Hotel. This road is now part of the one-way system around Liscard.


This 1960 photo shows an almost identical view to the Hopps painting of Wallasey Road. Liscard Central Market at left occupied 44-50 Wallasey Road and was indeed later demolished to make way for Safeway, then Netto and finally Wetherspoons. There was an old cottage on part of the site prior to the market being built, but that was not Clairville Cottage. Clairville was slightly further along the road towards Moseley Avenue, and became 52 Wallasey Road (later divided into two shops, 52 and 52a), roughly where the Soft Rock Cafe is now (or was the last time I was in Liscard).

Gorsedale Road swings with Bomb damage next to the Corporation workers building, very handy. My dad borrowed a handcart from the workers many years ago, cost him 10 shillings. We then went and got a piano from a shop on Poulton Road for £5. Non of us could play and still cant, it ended up a few years later in bits on a bonfire.

Nice one, You are right.

The Queens Arms which stood on the corner of Fell Street and Borough Road. The picture was taken in November, 1960, when it was the only property surviving from the tightly packed houses in the area bounded by Borough Road, Fell Street, Abbotsford Street and Church Road. Last orders were called in May 1964. A wee later the pub was demolished.

If you look at the first photo, on the wall on the right you can see the triangle ABC logo opposite the kiosk. I think both photos are of the ABC just after modernisation around 1959.
It is the same kiosk. I was an ABC Minor at the time mainly because the girl I was keen on was a member. Young Love!

Pear Tree Grove was off the old Liscard Crescent. It went off to the east while the end of the crescent went to the west to join Liscard Road outside the old Co-op (now McDonalds).

In the picture, the backs of some three storey houses can be seen. They are in Wilton Street, a cul-d-sac off Westminster Road.

The area the houses occupied is now the small car-park with the disabled facilities, over the road from the bus stops.

p.s Zipper - having a great time looking through your collection. Thanks for posting them.

One of my great grandfathers lived in Pear Tree Grove, Liscard in 1870's. All his children were born when living at that address. The houses were called Pear Tree Cottages. Nightwalker gave me that info a while ago.

The car on Liscard Rd looks to me like a Vauxhall Victor F or FA. Made between 1957 and 1961, the 'Super' had a top speed of 74.4 mph and 0-60 was 28.1 secs. the rust was pretty quick, too.

It might have been a big car for the time, being 167" long and 63" wide, but the current Astra is 7" longer and 8" wider.

I used to have A Hillman Minx, a Ford Consul and a Vauxhall Velox, I was only 16-17. Never had tax, insurance, mot or passed a test. We all got in a car and taught ourselves how to drive those days. No-one ever got hurt or even crashed and never got done by the coppers. Nowadays they get taught how to drive by "Blind Pugh" and some soft sod lets them pass their test.

Oxton road pic 1960's is it possible to find out where this pic comes from,Please, is it from a book. I lived in Warwick street 1958-1971 and would like a close up of this picture.Have tried page zoom but not clear enough.

Hi, all my pictures have been downloaded from the net either from sites or from people I know. They email me with pictures, so I have no idea where they originally came from, sorry.

It might have been a big car for the time, being 167" long and 63" wide, but the current Astra is 7" longer and 8" wider.

Attached is a picture of an FA Victor. The black car behind it is a Humber Super Snipe.


I think you are quite right Norton. Well done and thanks. Rust buckets indeed. I'm amazed that the one in your picture has survived. The owner must keep it in a plastic bag under high vacuum and 0% RH !!

It was taken at the Ellesmere Port Boat Museum in the summer of 1987. The car had been fully restored and would have been about 25 years old at the time, but that was 27 years ago!!
Hopefully, with the right treatments at the time and the correct maintenance in between, the car should still be on the road now.

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 .

The gable end on Lawtons barn is pretty impressive - look at the size of those lintels! Is the datestone legible on the original, I wonder? Looks like it might not always have been thatched, might have had a more solid roof at some stage. Great picture. (it's 26 posts back, if I've counted right)

I can't place the tall building on the left, just past the traffic lights, don't remember it at all, old age is no good you know. But there's only two traffic light controlled cross roads on Borough Rd, the other one being Charing Cross, so this must be Balls Rd/ Willmer Rd, thanks
Posted By: Norton Re: Loads of old Wirral pics - 9th Nov 2014 6:21pm
Perhaps I can help, as I took the original picture and used it to illustrate another thread.

The road to the left is Willmer Road and the road to the right is Balls Road East. Birkenhead center is behind me, the Library is off to my left and I'm standing by the bus stop near the Happy Valley pub.
Most of the shops on the left are still there. In the background is R E Wrights Shell garage and BMC car dealership. The shops on the right were demolished to make way for the inbound side of the dual carriageway.
43 years later, I decided to play safe and keep to the pavement, or else I would have been trapped by the central reservations railings when trying to go to the exact spot.
I hope the attached photo helps.

After sending my message I sat and thought about that picture, and realised I was looking the other way towards Birkenhead, Then I looked in an old faded book compiled by Birkenhead library in 1978 which has a similar picture, but I think it's too faded to scan.I shall go away and quietly meditate on the error of my ways.

I went past there this morning, pleased to see the cobblers is still open, (Just out of shot on the left) It's been there as a cobblers as far back as I can remember (at least 67 years), as a child of 5 I used to stand outside and marvel at the two machines in the windows. I never saw them in action. Keep the old photos coming, they're fascinating, Thanks

I bought a cactus there and grew it on the window sill of my gran's kitchen in Windsor St. Forizo still exists in Holborn Square.

You are welcome. I would be interested if you do find out
anymore about the photo. My father-in-law lived at the bottom
of that road at the time and was in the Territorial Army so
might have been involved in whatever was going on. We have
no idea!
Posted By: ZipperClub Re: Loads of old Wirral pics - 11th Nov 2014 4:56pm
I`m still on the hunt for the lampshades.. in the mean time I found this
The van is registered HF 9462, part of a Wallasey series of registrations that lasted until October 1946. Several features tally with this van being built not long after WW2, namely the small headlamps and lack of bonnet badges, plus the shape of the rear arches. The grille bears evidence of a minor impact at some point, enough to dislodge the stainless trim that would have been fitted to it. The bumper is a little wonky too.

Well, the best I can find are donations to the Womans voluntary Service for the lampshades

An old school friend of mine lived in the flat above the road sign in the '60's.
Were they "refurbishing" The Brighton?
Posted By: petethebike Re: Loads of old Wirral pics - 11th Nov 2014 7:02pm
The van is,I think a Ford,or maybe a Fordson.They did some cobble up jobs after the war using existing military parts.
Swords to ploughshares?
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Loads of old Wirral pics - 11th Nov 2014 8:09pm
I'm sure it's a Fordson. A friend of mine had one. Bloody lethal. The accelerator was in the middle. Brake to the right and clutch to the left. That was REAL fun to drive after you had learned to drive on a "normal" car !!! Vacuum wipers as well - put your foot down and they stopped working. Don't accelerate until the rain stops !!!!

They don't make 'em like that any more - thank God!

How to spot the difference - Ford or Fordson.
Unfortunately no index to the numbers.

As far as I can readily see -
Waistline - Double ridge became single.
Window apatures enlarged.
Radiator grille vent from horizontal to vertical slats.
Bonnet now flush with 'A' frame and side vents added.
Front bumpers optional. Some straight, some gull wing, some chrome, some painted.

They even had a seven seater version, and some were sold in the States under licence.

Obviously, the basis of the Ford Popular.

ps - Should we have a caption competition for the lampshade photographs (on another thread, please!)?

Posted By: Norton Re: Loads of old Wirral pics - 12th Nov 2014 8:57pm
Good luck with that.
You've got more chance of seeing a Fordson van with lampshades in the back than buying a pint in "The Brighton".
Posted By: petethebike Re: Loads of old Wirral pics - 12th Nov 2014 9:41pm
I don't recall mentioning buying!I have had a fair few bevies in there,but have to admit,I've not lived in the area since the '70's.I always enjoyed the wood and etched glass ambience there.
I was also fond of the Egremont Ferry,especially when the boats were being hauled up for winter storage and it was all hands on deck for beer afterwards.Oh the panic as the staff tried to find extra pint glasses.Had a fair few out of thick pint glasses with KGV stamps on them!
Such a shame for a wonderful building.

This is actually a wartime ariel view of Manor Rd / Belgrave St., the large building at the right hand side is the old 27 Club [Monkeyhouse now ?] with the Grosvenor Ballroom above & the Unitarian Church next to it .

The large circular structure on the corner of Belgrave St. is probably a temporary water tank .

If you just under the bridge on the left,you will see an Austin 7 Ruby.This must have been owned by somebody who worked nearby.
I used to see this parked in exactly the same spot when returning home to Wallasey, after hitching from where-ever I was working in about 1967.I often wondered what happened to it.

I have enjoyed reading the posts and collecting the Wirral photos I didn't already have, especially the one’s of the New Brighton tower and the fairground in its grounds... Thanks again all and have a Happy New Year....

Thanks for posting the picture in #918493, I can still remember the smell of Hot doughnuts, candy floss and Chain Oil (off the chaine on the figure of eight) as you passed the palmists in the background and headed up the slope towards the higher level of the Tower Grounds. The only other place that had a similar smell was the old floral pavilian end enterance to Wilkies indoor fair before they converted that end into an arcade.

Gorsedale Road School entrance when I was a nipper. The Dinner Lady or was it a Teacher? used to lock the gate at lunch time and when I got back a few minutes early I used to climb and sit on top of the wall where the ivy is. The darker bricks stick out a bit and made it easier to climb. Still the same old gate for over 50 years? or so. The caretaker had the house on the left.
