I don't know to be honest. My sister and I are planning to take Grandad to the Williamson to see the pictures. I will ring up in advance so the Curator can get any out that are in storage.

I will ask him/ her for info about the pictures.

Trying to work out where the Bidston pics were taken from - especially the bridge one
1 from river Fender near what was the main road to Moreton?
2 river Birket by Bidston station?

2nd pic possibly from near the traffic lights on Hoylake Road going into the village?

ps Rudebox if you do arrange a visit for viewing I'd love to come along
I can't understand why they keep the Wirral hidden away in a basement

Of course, Degs. Followed by the obligatory Bacon Butty, of course! wink x

My Grandad has told us about his Grandad setting fire to all of his belongings prior to his death- to save family members 'bickering and fighting' over them! lol. Gonna ask tomorrow if it was this Artist guy?!

First I heard that James Henry Robinson was an ancestor was my dad pointing out one of is pictures, as a kid, at Wallasey Central Library. I thought my dad was just taking the piss....lol
