1-7 Charing Cross, Birkenhead
Built as the Bank of Liverpool, and shops, to the designs of Douglas & Minshull, 1901. The bank occupied the grandest central section (

The central part was occupied by Christopher Boyton, a hair salon.

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.
