Birkenhead Corporation Motor Omnibus Garage
This was the Corporation's secondary garage at New Ferry, built in the 1930s. Sadly it has now been demolished and replaced by commercial development.
In this view buses of the former Birkenhead Corporation and Wallasey Corporation bus fleets can be seen, by now operated by Merseyside PTE. The blue bus is in the PTE's Wirral division livery, representing the blue of Birkenhead with the cream of Wallasey (neither accurate continuations!). The cream bus is a former Wallasey bus and was on a special tour saying farewell after some 20 years of service. It was repainted specially and has been preserved. It is shown here as if working on the old service 10 which was operated jointly by the two undertakings, running between New Ferry and New Brighton. A feature of both Birkenhead and Wallasey buses was the very large and clear destination display.
This is one of a series of views featuring buses in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=2114547&displayclass=slide

Houses, Port Sunlight
At the north end of the garden village.Light and open spaces were considered very important for his tenants and workforce, by Lord Leverhulme.
In 1887,William Lever, as he was then,bought 56 acres of land on the Wirral in Cheshire between the River Mersey and the railway line at Bebington. This site became Port Sunlight where he built his works and a model village to house its employees. From 1888, Port Sunlight village offered decent living conditions in the belief that good housing would ensure a healthy and happy workforce.
