Coat of arms of Birkenhead, in sharp relief and detail, with the inscription:-
BIRKENHEAD PHOTOGRAPHIC ASSOCIATION

This presumably is the Latin motto of the association, which means Where there is faith there is light and strength". Thanks to David Gault BSc, who is presumably a Tranmere Rovers supporter, or is familiar with the motto of Birkenhead Corporation.
