More about this scene
Birkenhead is a surprisingly large and sprawling town, and has taken in its outlying villages to become suburbs. In 1927, under the Birkenhead Extension Act, to celebrate its 50 years the town took in more outlying areas, thus doubling its original size of 1872. Woodchurch was one of those areas taken in. Here we see the shopping area. Many old favourites on the row include Waterworths the greengrocers and Dewhursts the butchers.
