diggingdeeper - Much appreciated

Crime, people dumping rubbish and criminals using them as escape routes. Also has the advantage that the council has to spend less money maintaining them.

Sign of the times, they used to be clear when I was young even though Birkenhead hadn't officially adopted them, Wallasey had.

The gates are a pain with vans, you never know in advance whether you will fit through the gates or not, assuming you can find someone that has bought a key. Even with vans that fit its usually uneven at the start, you line up perfectly but it can be a bit off once the rear wheels have gone over the uneven section and you have no space either side to correct plus you have your mirrors in. These are the same jiggers (entries) that the bin lorry used to reverse down at one time.

Scrolling around Google Maps for spots I recall in Birkenhead I'm surprised and puzzled to see steel gates blocking almost every entrance to the many jiggers at the back of so many of the old houses. Why have they been closed-off?

Chris I recall that bookshop, I've still got books on my shelf now from that place

Michael did you by any chance go to Hemmy?

Bert, thanks for clarifying that

That rings a bell

I dont think the theatre was totally demolished. After a bombing raid in which the co-op was damaged a lot of stuff was thrown out of the back and amongst it was were rolls of theatre tickets and programmes as though there had been a storeroom untouched. I took some home, long since gone alas.

Correct Joney. The Co-op occupied buildings either side of St John's St in Grange Rd, 1952 Directory.

I think it was called Tudor house in my day.

Anybody looking here for recommendations, steer clear of Omega Roofing and UPVC. Three months after 'completing' the work (a new roof) and being paid they still haven't been to finish the final tasks which they said they needed to do after the scaffolding was down. Repeated calls and messages are ignored by Stephen.

Should have known - they are not registered with any of the trade bodies. Avoid.

I have pictures which show their unprofessional work.

We need someone who can do a brief manual task that requires going up ladders (approx 1 hr).

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Yes still there, I think occupied by TK Max and a building society, I don't go down very often so not sure of occupants. I'm sure an avid shopper will know.

Is the building once the Co-Op in Grange Road still there? If so what store is it presently? Thanks

The Caledonia now called The Monkey Nuts has been closed down during a review of the licence for a number of reasons including a knife and a firearm. There are also allegations of drug taking and drug dealing.

Nothing changes down skid row!

Appears it was also called Eleanor Rigby's Bar at some time. This pub might have the record for the number of names changes.
