Photographic images of Bessie Braddock

Dear Sir/Madam,

I’m currently working on a BBC production relating to the history of Liverpool. I’m looking for photographic images of Bessie Braddock that we would be able to use in the programme and was wondering if you  have anything of her in your collection?

Warm regards,

Mossley Hill Hospital

Hello there

I am doing some family history and I have a relative (my great grandfather) who died and was buried at the Ministry of pensions hospital, on Park avenue in 1930

I have done some research  and have found that the hospital is now known as Mossley Hill

I was wondering who would be best to contact regarding my relative? Are there any graves in that area?

Thanks

John Bishop

Liverpool Yeshiva (Jewish college)

Dear Sir/Madam,

I have two questions for you if you don't mind me asking.

I am trying to find the address of the Liverpool Yeshiva (Jewish college) at some point between the 1960's and 1980's.

I was wondering where the High Court was located for Birkenhead, Liverpool and Southport and if this court still exists?

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,
Benjamin Butler

Crawford biscuit tin collectors

Can you tell me if you know of any Crawford biscuit tin collectors? 

 

We are looking to display one or two in our Crawford Collectors case. 

 

If you know of anyone with such a collection who would be willing to loan them to the museum over a 3 year period I would be very grateful if you could pass on my details.

 

Many thanks and best wishes,

The Burning of Judas

Hello 

please can you help with any information regarding the event named ‘the burning of judas’? I think it took place in the Dingle area of Liverpool in what is locally known as the holy land (because of the biblical street names).

I would appreciate anything you have on the subject.
