cant help but think what a mad location for a nursery, or any building, not sayin its not safe but it was havin to be pumped out a few months ago due to flooding!
That was my first thought - let's put a nursery up by a fast flowing weir.
Amazing pics! I borrowed Ian Boumphrey's 'Birkenhead of Yesteryear' It has some fantastic photos in it. I was amazed to see pictures of Storeton Quarry. Never realised there was a tunnel (keep calm Robbo) under Mount Road along which was a tramway all the way to Bromborough. Or that Quarry Lane East is the path of the tramway. Now all that remains of the tramway is a tunnel under the train line at the end of that road.
We don't seem to have a thread on the subject - surprised ChrisKay (Friend of Storeton Woods ) has not made a thread. Also amazed at pics of Bebington Mill.

So the river/stream must have been a lot bigger to accomodate a boat of that size.
Im wondering where the boat would go to in the surounding area, as I see it, judging by the geography and geology of the surrounding area, its not easy to gain access to the Mersey..
@AlfaCraig I know there used to be boats on the other side of the road (Dibbinsdale)after WW2. Presumably in 1903 the dam didn't exist and it may have been tidal up to this point. The water has two routes I think, the minor route goes down beside Magazine Lane, the main route meanders northwards then heads to the dock south of Bromborough tip.

Wow, didnt know where it actually went, cheers for that info
The house on the opposite side of the Dam used to have a small light boat in their "Garden" for a number of years, but was removed I think about 3-4 years ago. No idea if they ever used it on that actual patch of water or not.
