I thought it was Liscard Road as from what I remember Liscard Road had the most trees than any other road. There does not seem to be any houses on the left of the pic either.

Looks like they moved it around.

Don't want to rain on your parade but most of these can be found in local history books plus the many facebook pages such as old pics of New Brighton etc.

You should add some facts. The photo of the Plough Inn for instance is the one on Breck Road, not Moreton. Building still there but the pub long gone. Supposedly haunted?

Some kid in one of your photo's is Tony Ryder whose family owned numerous stalls and rides in the tower grounds. Died around 1972.

Guinness clock despite many people telling it was not in Vale park but in the tower grounds above Tommy Manns railway and near the Rockpoint Castle Restaurant and bar. Watched it many times. There is one left in existence and I think that is in the Guinness museum in Dublin?

Too many to comment on individually after the fact but hope you get my drift?

At least one of those photo's is copyright but has been reproduced that many times that I think the owners (a very large company) have given up on it. I note someone has put their moniker on it which is very cheeky in my humble. Photo's are for sharing but people should not suggest they own them. Some photographs I took myself have appeared on websites with no acknowledgement to the owner and to make it worse their own details on them. Not you of course but the people whose site it came from.

I shall cease putting up pics, please state where we could see these pics. I know the liberator site no longer exists sadly. I don't do facebook. Newbrightonpostcards site bit the dust too.
