House on Belmont
'Belmont' being the name of the road. This was once a nice house, and it would be a shame to see it go. However, there is a planning application to redevelop the area, see http://www.wirral.gov.uk/planning/RegisterEntry.asp?appnum=20067471&wanted=Register

Birkenhead Maternity Hospital, Grange Mount
This was established in 1846 as the Birkenhead Ladies Charitable Institution and Lying-in [maternity]Hospital. The title of 'Birkenhead Maternity Hospital' started in 1913. I was born here in 1963 and it closed in 1978. This photo was taken in August 1987 and the place was demolished in 2001 for safety reasons, despite being a Grade II listed building. The records of births are now held at the Wirral Museum in Hamilton St, Birkenhead.
