I seen the derelict building many times, driving past. Then scaffolding went up and thought another building lost to developer's. Then I noticed nothing was being demolished. The front face was gone then rebuilt. I slowly watched it change into a new repurposed building. I never knew the story about this, until it landed on my timeline... Thank you for saving a piece of Birkenhead history!

Hi Elizabeth thanks so much for your lovely comment. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. My mum was born in Larch Road in 1960. Number 47 I think. Maiden name was Coppock. The area has changed a lot since then. Most of the old buildings were knocked down in the 80's when Borough road was widened. Hopefully the building will be here for many years to come. All the best, Stephen.

Mike thanks a lot for watching the video and for taking the time to leave a comment. I completely understand what you mean about pride and could have reached out to more people for help. Although I have worked alone for a long time in my profession and am used to it. I did also have help from friends and family as well as a great group of professional local tradesmen. I would recommend all of them and their contact details are at the end of the video and also on my website if you are ever in need of a tradesman. I was extremely fortunate with the flood, luckily the shutters held off most of it and only a small amount managed to seep in through the shop front door seals. I had an industrial dehumidifier in there for about a week and only suffered minor damage. The shop next door and the Deen centre were badly affected. Thanks again and all the best, Stephen ☀️

Beautiful house.

While I live in the U.S., I'm also very proud of you're taking on this project to take an existing building with so much history and bring it back to life. All too often in the United States, when a building becomes old a derelict, we simply knock it down. But by knocking it down instead of renovating it, we've not only destroyed a building, but we've destroyed a part of our collective history and a part of a community. The current generation claims that they're all about reducing their carbon footprint blah, blah, blah. But I think it's just as important to take an already existing structure and renovate rather than build something new--even if it is a tiny house using sustainable products. I don't think I could ever live in a brand-new home because I'm all about living someplace that has history and character. Well done!

Trouble is the build quality in the US, there's nothing there to renovate, wooden walls and shingle roofs are not going to last 200 years unfortunately. In Europe when you strip something back you've a solid shell of bricks and mortar to work with.

@manon8083

As part of the 'current generation' who wants to reduce their carbon footprint, this project is fantastic! Improving an already existing structure is completely in line with what's good for the environment. Building materials require energy to be produced, so of course knocking down an old place to build something new isn't the best choice environmentally if the old building is still fit for purpose. And just personally, I despise the look of most modern houses because they tend to look really boring and have 0 soul. It makes me sad that these generational categories are pointlessly dividing us. I recently went to my friend's 60th birthday party, who I get along with really well with. There's also people my own age (20) who I have absolutely nothing in common with. I don't think we should assume people's beliefs based on their age, or that the beliefs of different generations will be incompatible by default. Young people can want to preserve old buildings. Old people can want to knock them down and redevelop them for a quick profit.

You restored a characterful, historic building, and made it into a beautiful home, and a great creative space. That house was lucky to get you as its owner.

Wish you all the best!

Usually involved in the administrative side of building. But that doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate the skill of different trades, over the years I have been on plenty of construction sites.

He won many housing awards, both HIA and Master Builders. Sorry if you thought I was a fellow builder……

Not only do people like you add value to your own lives, but this renovation adds value to the lives of your neighbours. I salute you, good sir, for all your hard work in creating this little gem.

Your work ethic and commitment is inspiring. Nothing but respect and admiration for what you've achieved. Good luck, you deserve it.

@Monica Molloy thanks Monica 🙂☀️

This is really an achievement to be proud of. I'm renovating a house which isn't nearly as derelict as the shop, and doing most of the work myself as well. So I can understand the many hours of graft going in your project. This is not only a man renovating a house, but a man fulfilling a dream, and that's having a place to do what he always wanted, having his own record label.

I lived in Larch Road for a short time in the early 80's. This shop was run by a broker where I'd get my car insurance. Fantastic work/restoration and a great video. Thanks for posting it.

Just when I thought you couldn't impress me any more than you already had, you built the kitchen from scratch.

Steve, this is brilliant!! Well explained and documented. Well done! Being a contractor myself, to take a task such as this on your own takes some set, and you did very well. Take bow, you did amazing, and it looks out of this world.

I have to say, I felt very sorry for you with nobody to help you on your birthday. It was such a daunting task, however, you had the vision and the commitment to see it through and look where it led. I salute you Sir, you are a true craftsman. In an age of quick fixes and everyone looking to make a fast buck, you have illustrated the benefits of good old fashioned hard work. My sincerest best wishes to you and good luck in all your endeavours.

CONGRATULATIONS! It takes a special kind of person to even visualize what that derelict shop could be, much less have the strength and perseverance to make that dream come true. What you did is simply awesome. Thank you for sharing it with us.

I love what you've done. Vintage is best and your little cupola is fab. It's beautiful. Well done 👏 ✔️ 👍 👌 😀 I.m in Cheltenham and I hate seeing old places just being destroyed

Absolutely amazing, your total dedication took that building from derelict to beautiful, may you have all the success you truly deserve.

I’ve just watched this now and had to leave a comment. Absolutely unbelievable mate. I take my hat off to do’ers like you. The vision, the planning, the hard work, the balls lol! What a beautiful home and shop you have made with you own bare hands. Well done mate 👏🏻👏🏻

Absolutely incredible......the physical and mental strength a project like this takes is totally off the charts, maximum respect to you

You brought this gem back to a sparkling state. Such great work. Congrats on seeing the potential and finishing this project. On top your video had so many beautiful shots in it, it has been a little gem itself. Enjoy your time in this lovely home.

People like you, who save these derelict buildings, are heroes in my eyes.

Congratulations on a fantastic restoration project. You should be extremely proud of what you've achieved. Good luck for the future.

Mate beginning to end inspirational proper respect fella.

As a Liverpool born, living in Australia...I have to say, this video warms my heart on many levels. What you have achieved is nothing short of amazing and you can be rightly proud.

I'm full of admiration for your hard work. Beautiful job!

First class work and project, Frank Cavanah (Cobbler) your next door neighbour relocated after his shop on the corner of Keightley street and Exmouth street was knocked down in the 70’s. All the best . I lived in Keightley street

You are so talented and hardworking, holy crap!!! And five years is admirably insane. I spent six weeks crocheting a blanket and thought that was a lot😂 props to you! This is amazing!!

I fixed up a few houses too (and I'm a 55 year old woman), so believe me, I know how hard it is, how much work it is, how much there is to learn, and how scary and overwhelming it can feel at times, and you dominated all that, wow, well done !! I'm in total admiration of your courage and your skills, you have my total respect! And you have good taste too! Congratulations and a happy future to you!

Your home is beautiful , you have restored her beauty and for that she will forever provide you shelter and keep you warm. Best wishes…

Absolutely fantastic! Your perseverance and hard work certainly paid off. Bringing a derelict building back to life is more than impressive. Congratulations!....😊

I have lived near this building for 20 years and always thought it was pretty. It’s been a amazing to watch it getting re build from afar. Thank you for making our area nicer.

Absolutely fantastic! I am a Brit now living in Texas and doing property renovation but how excited I was to hear your statement you were opening a record label. Been a collector of music for over 40 years, DJ and general audio enthusiast. Can’t wish you enough success my friend
