Hi Joe



Fine photographs once again. I consider Birkenhead Priory to be one of the hidden gems of Merseyside. In addition to fond memories that I have of visiting the priory when I was a boy, I remember going on a school trip to tour Cammel Lairds.

One other thing about Cammel Lairds. A correspondent has heard that Jack the Ripper suspect Frederick Bailey Deeming, born in Birkenhead, may have worked in the shipyard. Does anyone know if the records of the shipyard are available to the public, and whether it might be possible to trace Deeming's employment there if indeed he was employed at Cammel Lairds?
