Birkenhead Lawn Tennis Club
This is now owned by Birkenhead High School GDST. Several changes appear to have been made over the last 15-20 years, most notably and regrettably the removal of the three remaining grass courts to be replaced by (as pictured here) painted tarmac.

Bridge across Devonshire Place
This bridge was constructed to allow children from the Junior Department of Birkenhead High School GDST to cross safely to the main site for their lunch. This was after a series of accidents/near-misses.

Belgrano, 86 Devonshire Place
The main building of Birkenhead High School GDST (Girls' Day School Trust), an independent girls' school which has been in operation for around 100 years. GDST schools boast some of the best GSCE and A-level exam results in the country, and one or other of them frequently heads the league tables.
