Image number 80 - I've already got this as a photo labelled "Greasby 1930s Wood Lane" and the title seems correct.
The boy is standing at the parapet/handrail of a footbridge crossing Arrowe Brook.
On the 2009 view, the tarmac footpath is a little to the left of the original dirt track.
The path leads from Wood Lane Greasby to Girtrell Road Saughall Massie. Grid ref is SJ258882. The bridge is still a footbridge.
The aerial image shows an arrow for the direction of the photo and a circle where the boy is standing.

Unfortunately the road was busy and the bus was sat there in the middle of the shot going nowhere.

37 Please note this is still a cloths shop (Burtons became Top Shop and I think it's still owned by whoever owns Burtons now) If you go in the shop you can still see the stairs on the right (but entrance is closed off now) this lead to the upper floor and fitting rooms.

Tracks in the foreground were MD&HB lines which encircled the west float and east float.

These particular lines ran to Duke St in the West and round to the 4 bridges - also similar lines around the East float, which turned left to go over the Poulton/Penny Bridge. They also made a connection to the lines next to Bidston Dock which made a freight only connection to the New Brighton line vary close to Bidston Station.

There were similar double MD&HB lines on the Birkenhead side - running down Beaufort Road/Corporation Road and meeting the national railway lines at Canning Street/Bridge Street

21 - Lees Tapastry Works showing the Dock cottages.. The Tapastry work site is know Kwik Save (Somerfields) also in the Picture birkenhead north railway Station 1948

Were'nt the Dock Cottages (visible in the bottom right of this photo) demolished in the 1930's ? Certain Ilchester Square tenements were built before 1948......
