Nice find, Derek. 309 pages, 40 items per page - all searchable in PDF - great!
I guess the reference number indicates where the document lives. They can't all be in the Cheshire Lines archives, can they?
Surely you need something in the librarys to go and look at?

Converted it into an excel to sort and search alphabetically. There's quite a few photos I'd like to see. Don't know if any of them are in the Archives. Wonder if Wallasey library and Archives have a downloadable list of their photos. I'll phone the libraries and Archives next week to ask
