Griffiths - Birkenhead Steeplejacks

In August 2016 I was sent a series of images, probably never before seen, of Birkenhead and a couple of Bidston (on the Bidston pages). They are the property of Alan Perry, a cousin of fellow contributor, Bill Hislop. Here are the Birkenhead images. All these taken by a Mr RM Morris. These are family photographs. As they are not mine, I have marked each image. I have the original sepia large sized images safe.
