Special exhibition: Transport through the Ages
The display explores Wirral transport and the movement of people by rail, road, sea and air — and continues as the museum's main exhibition every Saturday through to Christmas. See Transport through the Ages for the full exhibition details.
The Grange Road Shops display is exactly the kind of building-by-building local history the Research Group continues to dig into — if you're researching a particular West Kirby address, shop or family, get in touch with the Research Group.
