Grange Road West Sports Centre
A local sports centre on the outskirts of Birkenhead. The building was originally a territorial army training centre, but was converted to a sports centre in 1969 when the council took ownership. I had to make a small edit on the signpost to remove some bright colours.

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.
