Dist:0.2km<br/>The photo shows the site of the old technical college theatre, latterly named Glenda Jackson Theatre after the famous actress and M.P. who was born in Birkenhead. It has only been revealed in the last few years that this was a Civil Defence Corps Control Centre during the Cold War. The bunker was later converted into a recording studio.

Dist:0.2km<br/>These apartments, on Borough Road, have replaced the old technical college AKA Wirral Metropolitan College. The building was abandoned, left to decay, and the whole site has been demolished and rebuilt over the past year. Wirral Metropolitan College still exists, but in locations in Conway Park and Twelve Quays.

Dist:0.2km<br/>A new Birkenhead Union workhouse was built in 1861-3, the architect was Thomas Layland of Liverpool. It could accommodate about 500 inmates and opened its doors on 4th January, 1864. The original workhouse hospital was built at the south of the site in 1866. In 1911-13 this was replaced by the two new hospital pavilions which are shown in the photograph. The workhouse later became Birkenhead Municipal Hospital but is now known as St Catherine's Community Hospital.
