About Birkenhead - show infohide info
Birkenhead town lies on the Merseyside’s Wirral, on the left side of the River Mersey, opposite to Liverpool. Birkenhead was famed as being a thriving sea port and a centre for shipbuilding. Birkenhead’s first ferry crossings occurred when the town began in 1150. Benedictine monks built a priory on the land and so instigated the growth of the town. The monastery still stands following restoration, and currently holds museums displays, education/meeting/concert space and chapel dedicated to HMS Conway. Nearby is St Mary’s parish church with a tower visitors can climb. Unlike Liverpool and the northwest of Merseyside, Birkenhead avoided the ravages of the Industrial Revolution, and remained primarily agricultural until the steam ferry service in 1820. This was followed by the Mersey Railway tunnel in 1886, as well as the 1934 Queensway Tunnel. Birkenhead Park is the first publicly funded park in Britain. The Birkenhead Park was the forerunner of the Parks Movement, and its design influenced that of New York’s famous Central Park. Despite being unquestionably in England, Birkenhead was to host the Welsh festival of music, art, and literature; National Eisteddfod, in 1977. It also played host to an unofficial National Eisteddfod event in 1879. Further claims to fame for Birkenhead include the founding of the first Boy Scout group in the world. The 1st Birkenhead YMCA brigade was established in 1906.
