Eleanor Road Bidston (Bishops House)
RobThomas
18th Nov 2024 7:45am
Hello Everyone,
First post here, I am looking for any information or photographs on a property that was on Eleanor Road Bidston until around 2001.
It was I believe called Bishops House and was owned by the Diocese of Shrewsbury.
They demolished it and built new houses in its place.
Many thanks to anyone who has any information.

Croxteth and Spring Streets
Croxtethroberts
16th Nov 2024 9:54am
Hello from NZ! My fathers family lived in Croxteth and Spring Street back in the early 20th century. (Roberts and Thompson). I would love some help in finding any old photos of either of those streets. And map locations too. My Dad worked at Cammell Laird as did his father, and that included on the Arc Royale. Some other family members worked at Sunlight.

Flooding at...yes you guessed it.
Excoriator
30th Sep 2024 3:33pm
Once again Merseyrail grinds to a halt because it's raining. One again the perennial excuse of "flooding at Hooton" is trotted out as if this is something sent by teh almighty that must be borne without complaint.
As flooding is so common there, surely its high time something was done about it.Technology IS available to do this in the form of drains and flood alleviation schemes. Yes of course it will involve money, but so do these rail disruptions that seem to go on year in year out. If water covers the track then for heaven's sake elevate the bloody track or provide proper drainage.
I am sick of being decanted onto an overcrowded bus and having to stand because it rains and nobody can be arsed todo anything about it.

Be careful at the GO filling station
Excoriator
27th Sep 2024 12:07pm
This is the lowest cost filling station in the area on the A41 near Lairds, but be careful about which nozzle you pick up to fill your car.
It is natural to assume the cheapest is the end one, but it isn't. That is the 'Super' unleaded which costs a bit more than their advertised price. I suspect a lot of people get caught out this way. The cheapest plain unleaded was the second from the end when I last went there. Just look at the prices.
Clearly there is nothing illegal about this. Both are clearly marked, but I think its a bit south of good business practices.
Just be careful.

Wirral 20mph.

Although I can see the reasoning, particularly in shopping and school areas, the congestion is going to be paramount. It seems madness. As we know , many travel and work in Liverpool, and I can't imagine what the hold up at the tunnels will be in a morning.
Buses will have to have their timetables changed, mums and dads travelling by bus will have to leave earlier in a morning, thus impacting on their children being dropped off earlier at school. Meeting the children after school time, will mean have to leave work that bit earlier, which will impact on hours of work and pay for those who need it more than most, and companies that rely on working hourse being fulfilled. Trucks will be rolling backwards near enough when on inclines, more petrol will be used by sitting in queues and more pollution emitted from standing vehicles. Why oh why meddle, when things work well ? It didn't work in Wales, did it ?

Regenerating Birkenhead
Excoriator
4th Aug 2024 1:51pm
I hesitate to suggest this for fear some brainless councillor takes it up, but here goes:
The Birkenhead Internationai Regeneration Development (BIRD) involves demolition of every thing between Conway Street, Park Road North and Laird Street and the docks, and the construction of a much needed Birkenhead International Airport.
The site would allow a 3,000 metre runway - nearly half as long again as Liverpool's one - and the three or four underground stations are already there to serve the terminal buildings that would undoubtedly spring up to handle the throng of passengers. Birkenhead park would be converted into a massive multi storey car park. The site thus brilliantly links Road, Rail, Air and Sea! A spaceport added on Bidston Moss would add an additional link to this hub,
The regenerative effects of airports are well know, They bring wealth and prosperity to the whole area, providing hundreds of jobs. How can it possibly fail?
I am available for consultancy work at a very reasonable rate of £5,000 a day (or part thereof plus VAT) should the council require it.

20 mph speed limit.
Excoriator
3rd Aug 2024 2:11pm
Like many other I received an invitation in a leaflet from the Council to 'have my say' on their proposals for roads where a 20mph speed limit would apply. Attached to it was a list of the roads where they were proposing the new limit should apply. Some of them were a little strange.
One was the Rock Ferry Bypass. This is a dual carriageway fenced off from public access and currently has an 'average speed' limit of 50 on it. I really cannot see this stretch of road working well at 20.
The Esplanade in New Ferry was another. This is actually a footpath not a road and is unadopted. Some Amazon delivery men sprint along it at a fair old lick, but few exceed 20 anyway.
Can you be fined for running at over 20mph anyway?.
