Great pics, used to live down by the Esplanade so brought happy memories back. Used to live in the old New Ferry Hotel, that place with the big faux castle stuck on the roof, it was the Buffs Club when I was there. Lovely.


Birkenhead........ God's own Room 101.

Did it have a revolving door when it was a pub/hotel please?

Excellent pics! smile

At the end of the Esplanade (as far as you can walk now) there is a larger house set back different to the row you can see in the photos... any info on that?

New Ferry was such a lovely place----what happened??
i remember when i was little my Nan telling me about how New Ferry used to be like a holiday resort, they would come over from Liverpool for a day out.
I also remember when i was little the crowds that would come to go to the baths and in the precinct would be packed with shoppers,we had all kinds of shops,now there's nothing, even have to go to B,head market for a piece of fish!
we had a market here too-----anyone remember that? now it's the training place.
