Yes, Boots on the corner of Vincent St. Pykes on the other corner.

On the left, where Woolworth's will be, was the Baptist chapel (set back, out of view) & next to it, the YMCA.

horatio street the road sign says!

Jacksons the tailors

must admit I preferred Grange Rd as it was compared to today

a couple more pics 1970s?

Can anyone identify some buildings I've marked in first pic

possible buildings Angel and Asda getting built also Priory Buildings

Old Birkenhead market should be straight behind the Beatties tower from there on the fist picture.

The nearest building you have circled is the new precinct, they started building from that corner.

The white buildings in the middle have me flumuxed, they facing the wrong way for the angel (and anything else I can think of)

I think the white building is the block that the crown pub is on.

that would make sense nuddy

its the wrong direction for the crown buildings, they would be well to the left of this picture, could it be something that was knocked down to build the old tunnel approach flyover that was built and later knocked down on conway street? You can see the old post office pub to the right of it.

Tried working out on this old map where and what the white building would be. Positioning would lead me to the row of buildings ive marked on the map. Anyone know what the pub was on that corner of Hamilton St And Conway St?

Whie building could be Chester Arms or Queens Ballroom which was near the Ritz

Wasn't that white building a club or a car sales business,think I can remember fencing around and cars ?.

Another punt, the building that used to be Ruperts?

What was the name of the pub that once stood on the site were Argos Birkenhead now stands?
