Birkenhead Walk: Town Centre【4K】
Located in the county of Merseyside, and directly opposite Liverpool on the other side of the Mersey Estuary in the Wirral Peninsula, is the town of Birkenhead.
Around 1150 AD the Benedictine Priory was established in Birkenhead. The monks would charge a small fare to row passengers across the river to Liverpool. In 1318 ferry rights were granted to the monks by Edward II. In 1330 his son and successor, Edward III, granted the priory a royal charter, giving it further rights. At the time Birkenhead was just a tiny hamlet and Liverpool was a small village.
By 1801 Birkenhead was still a tiny settlement with a population of just 110. In 1817 a steam ferry service to Liverpool started, followed by a paddle steamer in 1822. Before long Birkenhead transformed into an industrial town. An iron works was established in 1824 by William Laird. In 1828 Laird went into business with his son, John, which was to be the beginning of a thriving ship-building industry. A statue of John Laird is seen on Hamilton Square, which itself is a fine example of late Georgian architecture of the 1820s.
In 1886 the Mersey Railway Tunnel was built. This provided Birkenhead with a direct train link to Liverpool. In that same year, Birkenhead Central Station and Hamilton Square Station opened. A year later, in 1887, Birkenhead Town Hall opposite Hamilton Square was completed.
In 1934 the Queensway tunnel opened, linking Birkenhead to Liverpool via road. Construction took nine years, and the tunnel was officially opened by King George V to a crowd of over 200,000. At the time it was known as the eighth wonder of the world. Decades later, in 1971, a second tunnel, the Kingsway tunnel, was opened to relieve congestion. This tunnel runs from the neighbouring town of Wallasey just to the north, into Liverpool. To put it another way, the Queensway tunnel was opened by the king and the Kingsway tunnel was opened by the queen!
Birkenhead is represented in sport by Tranmere Rovers Football Club. Founded in 1884, they play their home games at Prenton Park in the suburb of Tranmere, south of the town centre.
Famous people from Birkenhead include Patricia Routledge, Paul O'Grady and Jason McAteer.

2006-06 Birkenhead och Chester, England
Birkenhead and Chester June 2006, in connection with us going on a rented canal boat in the Midlands. Birkenhead was Europe's largest port at the time people emigrated to America. Many nice folding bridges. Today, museum trams run to and from the ferry a cross the Mercey (60s) with double deckers. The Transport museum is also worth a visit.

OXTON: Selby Parish #47 of 74
Welcome to a very, very small location to the South of Tadcaster. Despite its small size – just 20 people – there are two Grade II listed buildings in this one, the mid-18th-century Grange, and the early 18th-century Hall. It does have a few amenities too believe it or not. Buses stop here on the way to Bolton Percy, although with this being between there and Tadcaster it kind of makes sense
There’s no shop or post office as you might expect but there is a standalone postbox, which I consider to be of vital importance for a very rural community. There is a parish noticeboard as well. All these things are grouped together in one main area in the middle of the village. There’s a bench here as well. This has been here since 1953 it seems, placed here to commemorate the coronation of our current Queen
Within the parish is the deserted medieval village of Ouston. Despite my best efforts I couldn’t find much about Ouston, but I can have an educated guess as to where it may have been and that would be the Northern bank of the River Wharfe, a river which forms the Southwestern boundary of the parish.
There’s a large sewage plant situated close to the River Wharfe, downstream of Tadcaster. It’s classified as a waste water treatment plant. The name of the road leading to it is Ouston Lane, which suggests the deserted medieval village is either now the sewage works or its very close to it. There isn’t really much to tell you about how the plant works or why it exits to be honest, I think that’s pretty much self explanatory!
Small but oddly charming in a few ways, come visit the bright lights of central downtown OXTON.
