Former pub, Oxton Road, Birkenhead
Its latest incarnation was the Leprechaun, which explains the vibrant colour scheme. In another life it was the Park Hotel.
Although it has since been given a lick of paint it does not appear to have been given a new purpose in life.

Birkenhead Central Library
This was opened in 1934 by King George V. The road in the foreground is Borough Road, one of the main ones in Birkenhead. This particular area used to be known as "Happy Valley" - I'm not sure why... but there was a pub of the same name nearby. Borough Road, incidentally, used to be a river.
