Historic places to visit in Wirral
The magnificent Town Hall, opened in 1887, by John Laird, the Wirral Museum is the focus of Hamilton Square, the elegant centre of Birkenhead. It was built at a time when the town was rising in importance and confidence as an industrial centre. Restored from a functional council building to its Victorian splendour, it opened its doors to the public in 2001.
Housed within our splendid interiors that give a flavour of Victorian style, and displays include the history of Cammell Laird, for many years Birkenhead's major employer, tracing the shipbuilder's rise and fall from 1824 to 1993. A fantastic large-scale model shows the Woodside ferry in 1934, the day the Queensway tunnel opened, and both Wirral's ancient history and its recent civic history, including silver and Mayoral regalia, are shown. Regular exhibitions take detailed looks at aspects of Wirral's past and present. Thematic displays and changing exhibitions pick out individuals or groups who have contributed to Wirral's life at different times. It houses many fine collections related to Wirral's history, including Mayoral and Civic Silver, Della Robbia Pottery and the Cammell Laird Collection.
Port Sunlight is a model village, built towards the end of the nineteenth century for Lord Leverhulme's factory workers. The village remains beautiful, with over 800 listed buildings set in magnificent gardens. Port Sunlight is arguably Britain's finest example of a purpose built 'workers village'. Port Sunlight Museum offers a unique insight into the way of life for the villagers and workers of Port Sunlight, during the late 1800's and early 1900's.
