Here are two aerial picture of the tunnel approach system including the Conway St flyover. There is a PDF somewhere on wikiwirral of the scheme (which is where I got 1st picture).

If you can't find it then PM me - or someone PM me to tell me how to put a pdf up (I am not very forum savvy - sorry).

Look for (our) soundlad on youtube - he has put up loads of brilliant stuff - thanks Lee.

One of my favourites is "Birkenhead - The 1960's & 70's" which unusually wasn't soundlad - this has Grange Road, Oak & Eldon and even the Coop Dairy on Swan Hill.
