A woman stumbled across a pile of letters and photos stuffed in a wall dating back to the 1960s.
Danielle Areola and her partner had only bought the house in Rock Ferry at the end of March and were getting it ready to move in with her six-year-old son.
Danielle, 29, told the ECHO she made the shock discovery while she was cleaning one of the bedrooms.

She said: "In one of the rooms upstairs there's like an air brick void. It's a chute at the top of the wall and it looked like it was full of muck so I put the hoover in and it got caught.
"As I pulled it out it pulled out a child's school jumper - a really old one.
"And then underneath that I saw a massive pile of letters all between the gap inside the house and an air brick that leads to outside."
Danielle was able to salvage the letters which were all dated between April and May 1961.
She said: "There's nothing incriminating. They're just a young girl's day-to-day life in the Wirral basically with her friends.
"They mention a lot of local areas which is nice.

"I think it's a lot of her girl mates and maybe a family member as one is written from a Susan Murray. There's also what looks like a Carol McGinley or something.
"I'm guessing the age of the girls writing they must be teenagers. I'm hoping that she might still be young enough to be around, or a family member."
Danielle said all the pen letters are addressed to a Miss Kathleen Murray at the address of her new home in Bedford Avenue, and they mention places in New Brighton, Heswall, Liverpool, Ireland and Salford.
She said around 15 letters have survived, adding: "There is a pile of letters that aren't even legible any more - they've all gone black and the writing has disappeared so some of them have been lost but some of them are really clear and clean.
"In one of the letters, they're talking about going out to the pond and meeting Peter and somebody else going out with the girls.
"One of them makes a joke about St Patrick's Day and getting drunk and going over to Ireland for a few weeks."
As well as the pile of letters hidden in the wall, there was also a photograph of what appears to be a young woman sunbathing with half the photo cut away.
There is also a photographic negative of three young girls at the back fence in the garden that Danielle now owns.
Keeping the letters and photographs in place in the wall was a grey school jumper.
Danielle said: "We haven't moved in yet as we've been painting and fixing it up. I thought I was just clearing out a load of muck and dirt from this airbrick - It was really surprising.
"I'm surprised how long they've lasted as technically they're exposed to the elements outside there are holes in that wall."
She added: "I think finding those letters makes It feel more of a home.
"It's felt like a big empty box or a building site for the last month, so finding these letters has made it feel more homely.
"Like a nice welcome to the house and have a little bit of connection to it at least."
