Looking along the top path towards Ingestre Road, down into the Quarry on the left of the picture.
Children playing on the see-saw in the Quarry.
Local men playing quoits on a Sunday in the Quarry. The steep steps leading down from the top path clearly visible in this picture. You can just about see other visitors walking along from Ingestre Road along the top path towards the Rose Garden.
An even earlier picture showing the Quarry and top path.
Looking down the long border towards the Storeton Road entrance to the Rose Garden.
Near the top of the Rose garden where ther used to be a cafe and toilets to the rear of it.
The Sundial with people enjoying the views across to Woodchuch Road.
Another picture of the sundial in all its former glory.
Lots of people enjoying their leisure time in the Quarry.
Beautifully clipped shrubs in the long border looking down to Storeton Road.
Victorian children playing on the see-saw in the Quarry.
A picture postcard showing the Quarry, complete with see-saw and steps down from the top path, which are now hidden in the undergrowth.
A lovely photograph of a mother and her daughter enjoying the sunshine and fresh air in the Rose garden. From the lady's clothes I imagine it to be in the 1940s or 50s.
The Centenary stone which the Friends erected in March 2012 to commemorate a hundred years since the park was given to the people of Birkenhead by the Earl of Shrewsbury in 1912.
