I unintentionally found myself down by where you were last night! I was walking from Conway Street to Seacombe Ferry via 12 Quays! (more to follow)
Mona Street, Claughton A bit of old Claughton Village which has engulfed by the mass development of Birkenhead during the 1800's. Laird changed the town forever as it was only small fishing village on the banks of Birkenhead Pool (now filled in) close to Woodside. Claughton Village was an agricultural settlement before becomming a part of Birkenhead. I bet the people living in these houses got a shock when everywhere around them suddenly built up in a short space of time.
Price Street, Birkenhead Looking upto Duke Street and North End.
Corporation Road/Freeman Street, Bhd Never noticed this before but it is a great relic reminding us of times past and when the Wirral Docks where more active than they currently are.
Egerton Bridge, 12 Quays This was renovated a few years ago and now provides an pleasant entrance to the 12 Quays Commercial Park.
East Float, Bhd/Wsey Bound The extensive East and West Floats partially divide Birkenhead from Wallasey. However, it is rather common to see the "Dock Road" which is on the Wallasey side referred to as being in Birkenhead for some reason.
Four Bridges, Wallasey/Bhd Bound At the East Float here, there used to be four bridges linking Birkenhead with Wallasey. Now there are two.
New Street, Seacombe I love this contrast in views with the terraces and the Beetham West Tower.

New Street, Seacombe Shame about United Utilities blocking the view over to the Pier Head; never mind ay!
