The Shaftesbury Boys Club when it was the juniors entrance in Jackson st and the seniors entrance in Thomas st.
It is now split up, one part being the House of Pain and another part used to be the Atmosphere club.Building is still standing

new club built
Shaftesbury Youth Club
60 Mendip Road, Birkenhead
Possibly they may have pics of past presidents.
I do know they have a brass plaque with the names of past presidents
