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 (Image]). The pointiest and stand out building in the area, even if it is "uncomfortably at odds with its neighbours". Grade II listed.
The central part was occupied by Christopher Boyton, a hair salon.

Old Birkenhead Fire Station pre-2014
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.

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.
