Midland Bank Charing Cross

A Memory of Birkenhead.

I was born above the Bank on Jan 4th 1944. My grandmother (Elsie Hitchell), was caretaker/ cleaner of the bank and all of the upstairs accomodation came with the job. We lived there with the extended Hitchell family until about 1948, when I moved to a prefab in Rock Ferry with my parents. My grandmother lived above the Bank until she died in about 1960/61. She was a wonderful lady and I have fond memories of her.
