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
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.
An awesome collection. All, of which, were new to me. Many views would be familiar into the 1950's. The rare view of the old market hall and showing the Hay Market. Any of your subscribers, to whom, the phrase "Sturla's Cheque" meant something, will remember the Hay market. You have out done yourself with this video, Jayne. Well done and thank you.
Because Bob Martins looked like a public house on the inside, we kids felt so grown up drinking our pop after an afternoon spent playing cowboys and Indians at the rockery in Birkenhead park.

Another great one Jayne! I used to love going to Birkenhead market pity the new one doesn’t have the same atmosphere.
