This is the old Birkenhead Fire station. It had three fully staffed fire engines which were gradually cut. It was also an Operational Resource Centre housing many of Merseyside Fire Services' specialist equipment pods and an aerial appliance. It was a large building and eventually the upkeep costs and government cuts led to its being replaced with a PFI (private finance) fire station that is much smaller and shared with the ambulance service.
