Ive worked in this dump for the past 14 years and a new station is being built on the exisiting site in about 2 years . I havent looked but i assume there are pictures on here of the previous main birkenhead fire station that was on the junction of borough road and whetstone lane where the netto carpark is now . loads mate, do a search and you will find them.
God help us,

It was built to replace the old fire station in Whetstone Lane by Birkenhead Corporation for Birkenhead Fire Service then we had the 1974 garbage where they turned us into a Metropolitan County and the Merseyside Fire Service took over,I can remember the old Birkenhead buses being towed along the M62 going for scrapping in Sheffield and the New Birkenhead buses being used in Liverpool before they got painted that horrible green,I think Birkenhead got stuffed on that deal.

wasnt Crosville green the dark green, and MPTE a lighter shade? possibly two different greens on the MPTE livery?..
I may be imagining this.....

You are quite right phill.. The MPTE used "Verona" green and cream. Often referred to as bile green and vomit ! (Just about right). "Proper" Crozza's had a much darker green with cream waistband, although the shade varied over the years.
By the way who owns Crosville this week ? Every time I come down to the Wirral, it seems to have changed !
The B'head Corpy blue/cream was about the best livery in the entire country. Up to de-regulation, probably the best maintained buses too !
