Why dont they build the sand stone wall back the one that runs from the witchs steps up towards the windmill,an put wolves back too!!😊😊😊

Nice to see the Birkenhead I once knew before they turned it into an alien landscape.

My family where from Powell street,quite a few family members buried in flaybrick(Tollemache rd i think) Moved away nearly forty years ago🇩🇪when its my time,my daughters know where to throw my ashes (mersey). One day soon i will return. Interesting film i used to drink in the comet on laird street or in the avenue opposite Birkenhead park rugby club. Happy memories.👌

Interesting, I must know you then as many my friends lived in Harding avenue, Kevin Smith, Davies manders, Stephen Foster, Billy Smith to name a few, we played in the rods and up on biddy Hill . Can I ask your full name please..

I was born in the fire station on Wetstone lane , lovely to see a photo of it . People don't usually include them in video's of Birkenhead. It's a terrible shame how thing's have gone downhill.

Lovely to view these old pics of Birkenhead they bring back fond memorys of my childhood and thanks for posting them jayne. I was born and raised at Bidston Hall farm that my family ran for many decades and there were three working dairy farms in the village up until 1966, when sadly the land was compulsory purchased by the council to build the now Ford estate..Fond memorys indeed..

I love these videos. I didn't grow up in Birkenhead, so I can't remember Oak and Eldon gardens or the hospital, but I do remember the old market and Grange road before they pedestrianised it all. Fab pics!

Wow absolutely fascinating 👍👍👍

Good to see the old pics of biddy Hill brought back fond memory's of my childhood..I grew up on bidston hall farm in the fiftys & sixties , my mother was born on Hill farm bottom of the hill on boundary road..

Thanks for the video Jayne - really interesting. Anyone remember Star Yachts in Birkenhead?

The Britannia green lane my mum worked as a bar maid I'd say early to mid 80s thanks for posting this brings back a few memories! 👍

Thanks for showing Grange Mount Maternity Home, always wanted to see it, as a family member was born there.

Big well done to the council who have brought our town to its knees. Once a busy vibrant town when I was growing up. Now it's a shell of the place it once was

Love the old pictures of around. Mostly gone but you can still see bits of the old buildings. Mad how busy the docks were to now when it’s dead. Thanks for this

Great memories thank you . Does anyone have video clips of Queensbury Gardens Birkenhead where I spent my childhood years , they were wonderful days gone by .

Thanks Jayne

My great aunt Sally used to be a prostitute working down Corporation Road. Seeing that great big cannon brought back fond mamories of her.

Thanks Jayne

Had an aunt and uncle who lived in Livingstone Street after the war visited them many times in the 60's , another uncle lived around the corner in Cleveland Street, reminds me of the scene in The Cruel Sea when Compass Rose returns to the Mersey after an air raid on Liverpool and Birkenhead. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Jayne, I really love your videos and the fantastic 'memory jerk' they provide. Do you by any chance have any photos of Beaconsfield Road in Tranmere, off Union Street or of Mersey Road heading toward Rock Park? I was born in Beaconsfield Road, my favourite Auntie lived in Merseyside Road and my Grandmother's house was 26 Delta Road by Rock Park. Its still there now although the road was split by the bypass. I'm retired in the Cotswolds and a long way from those old places now. Keep up the good work Jayne, much respect for your work! David

Very interesting [ Was born in Birkenhead ] What's the delightful piano piece ?

Birkenhead, alongside Liverpool, was the most bombed place outside of London. R.I.P

Thank you so much for these videos Jayne they are a great source of memories for me and so many others. Although born in Beaconsfield Road, off Union Street in Tranmere, I now live in the Cotswolds. My father worked on Birkenhead Docks, my brother in Cammel Lairds, and my uncle Jim worked as a tanner in the British Leather Works. Mum was born in Delta Road, a few yards from the Mersey, and Dad was born in Jackson Street. Please keep them coming, and if you have any of Beaconsfield Road and the railway that ran beside it, please let me know. Keep up the good work! Regards, David

Wonderful. Thank you for the memories...beautifully done

A lovely video. Time hasn’t been kind to Birkenhead, sadly. Nevertheless, a lot of great moments were made. I’ve been a Birkenhead lad all my life, and while I was born in the mid-late 80’s, this video was heartwarming nonetheless.

I LIVED THE OVER THE ROAD 3.24 THE SCOTT THISTLE IT WAS CALLED "THE LITTLE HOUSE"

I always thought "Dock cottages" sounded such a pretty name. Reality was not.

Many thanxJayne Your a Star

this and the name below are only a Yahoo Mail name

OMG Talk about memories, I was born in Patten Street. I was one of 13 kids, just at the bottom of our street was the Crane the Mamoth it used to berth there near Abels sand and Ranks Flour Mills, I went to Our Ladies School and then St Hughs ( THE YOSSERS ) lol Happy Memories of a bygone age along with the rear sight of Biddy Hill lol

i was born in norfolk as my mum had to come here from argyle street during the war to get away from the bombing there, she told me many stories of her life as a child in Birkenhead, of a place that helped poor families called "thompsons mission" and the kiddies hospital where her little sister stayed a lot in the 1930s. i always tried to picture it in my mind so i can now take a peek thanks to you.

thank you Jayne, Happy New Year to you.

Although it almost definitely isn't, that two-tone MG Magnette saloon parked in Beaufort Rd (1:49 in the video) could have been mine. Lovely to see again and re-vivify the (very) old memories. My granddad used to work in the flour mills there. Rank, Buchanan and Appleby's Ocean mills - don't know why the signs only said Rank. Perhaps the other two couldn't fit.🤔 Thanks for posting.

Thank You So Much Because I Found Local History Near Where I’m From

That's nice Jayne, thank you. The hospital I was born in and the Pacific pub where I frequented in the 80s to listen to the A Team. Happy days.
