Forums Forums Wirral History : Chasing the Past Wirral Now and Then Old Wirral Pictures : Compare

Matty,

you say 67 is frankby, is this the place that sometimes has a ducklings and rabbits for sale sign on the wall, just before larton livery.

and I'm pretty sure 69 is central park in liscard not birkenhead park

72, a guess at spital damm
73 and 74 are also raby mere

Right im kinda gutted atm, cos I seem to have "lost" over 600 photos including most of the ones I took this year haha so I aint got many to compare with atm.

Ill have to delve deeper into me hard drives and find them.

Anyways, heres a half decent compare of bidston windmill:

Im not sure if 72 is Spital Dam, but I dont know of any others locally. Me and Mark went there to take some photos for comparison, and the dam we found looked nothing like it lol (plus nowadays its a waste treatment facility, and was full of pooo lol, right up Marks street hehe).
