Birkenhead Homepage


On the left hand side are back-to-back terraced houses, typical of Birkenhead. In the distance, you can see the eastern part of Birkenhead town centre. On the far right is the Liver building, across the River Mersey in Liverpool. The flyover takes you from the town centre to the Mersey road tunnel. Argyle Street South eventually leads to Argyle Street, the main clubbing area.
