Description
Lost Wirral presents a portrait of this region of north-west England and a way of life that has radically changed or disappeared today. This photographic history showcases not just the buildings, streets and industries that have gone or changed, but also a way of life.
The Wirral Peninsula, situated between the River Dee and the Welsh border to the west and the River Mersey to the east, has long had its own identity. The large towns of Birkenhead and Wallasey grew around their docks, while New Brighton was developed as a resort, attracting visitors from across the region.
Over the years, much has changed on the Wirral, with industries declining and some areas suffering destruction during World War II. However, more recent years have seen the regeneration of many areas, making this photographic history an interesting and informative look at a bygone era.
