Looking Back at Old Irby and Thurstaston

The DVD illustrates the many changes that have taken
place in and around Irby and Thurstaston over the past
100 years. This includes a rare photograph taken during
the First World War at Thurstaston of Thomas Ismays
former home of Dawpool, being used as a military hospital
for officers. Today all that survives from the mansion is
the gatehouse that now stands next to the roundabout.

Thank you, as well. I am an Irby living on the eastern coast of America, in the state of Virginia. I have been working on family history for the past 7 yrs and have traced it back through the town of Irby. There has been a lot of transition in the Irby lineage; the town of Irby is part of that transition. I would love to come over some day to visit and to walk the streets of family.
