If you are asking about the one in front of the market then this used to be part of the the car park that serviced the original asda in Birkenhead. Asda sold up and moved to Bromborough and Wilkinsons / Blockbuster moved onto the site, the car park was halfed and the new bus station built
the pub where argos is now was the argyle, and there was a pub on the corner of where the bus station is it was called the conway arms and there was a block of flats called st andrews square on the old asda site
MANY moons ago, wasnt there a church / chapel and graveyard?? Remember reading in one of soo many history books. Could look up if no one else has the foggiest! That was before the Asda you realise....!!!! LOL
I was born in Conway Place just across the road from St Andrews Church when I moved into St Andrews Square there where three sides to the square and the grave yard small it maybe was overlooking the main square.
Our Father Who art in Heswall Arrowe be thy name Thy Thingwall come Thy Willaston be done On Irby as it is in Prenton Give us this day our Birkenhead And forgive us our Rock Ferry bypasses As we forgive those who bypass against us And lead us not into Park Station But deliver us from Eastham Amen

I think the bus station between conway street and claughton road is on the old site of St Andrews Square. St Andrews Square was family accomodation in the form of flats i think, my memories of these buildings is pretty vague but i do remember it being a pretty impressive piece of architecture (not sure how they where laid out inside).
