Many thanks Sarah.

Something about that photo says Prenton or Oxton to me.  Could be way out of course but can't seem to associate it with Wallasey providing it is still around of course?

It was someone from Wallasey who suggested Birkenhead to me!  Any thoughts on names of roads in Prenton and Oxton so that I can try street view?

You could try the area around Waterpark road.  It's a while since I was driving my post van around the area so might be way out?

I'll have a look, thanks.

Hello bigbazza,

I used to work in Birkenhead for some years and also think this looks like one of the leafy suburbs there. Places as Oxton and Noctorum come to mind. The one road that I can think of is Vyner Road South. I suggest you have a look at that on Google maps and street view.

Have you asked a local paper to print the photo and ask people to suggest locations? I think this is now called Wirral News.

Hi Jo,

Many thanks for the suggestions.  Vyner Rd South is very leafy so you can't see the houses very well on street view. Unfortunately, No. 19 didn't tally.

I will keep Oxton & Noctorum in mind to drive around when I next visit Wirral.

I like the idea of sending the picture to the Wirral News and will follow that one up.

Regards,  Baz.

Hi, Bigbazza.  I would suggest that you join Wikiwirral. Its a community on line site, free to join. It has a history section and there are some very gifted amateurs with local knowledge on the site who might be able to help.
