File:Birkenhead Buses In Front Of Foresters Hall, Hinemoa Street, Birkenhead.jpg
Foresters Hall stood where the State Insurance office is today in Hinemoa street. It was built in 1911 for the Ancient Order of Foresters who were a friendly society. Before the days of social security they provided medical care and death benefits for contributing members. To raise funds the hall was often hired out for varied functions. A picture theatre was operated on the ground floor and the top floor was used as a dance hall.
