It feels awkward describing a cemetery as 'pleasant', but generally the ones in Wirral are. This was no exception, and had an unusual centre building. Beyond the cemetery, to the South-west, are expansive playing fields.

Dist:0.9km<br/>A view looking towards Chester from the same location as Ben Brooksbank's historic photo http://geograph.org.uk/photo/1775236 nearly 49 years later. The four roads of the Birkenhead Joint Railway's main line have been reduced to two for Merseyrail's Wirral line from Liverpool to Chester and Ellesmere Port. The site of the eastern platform and pair of tracks (beyond the green wire fence) is now devoted to car parking. The substantial brick buildings and platform awnings have been replaced by simple structures like bus shelters, and the chocolate and cream Western Region name signs have given way to slim contemporary ones.
