Local Information for Wallasey

Wallasey is a large town on the mouth of the River Mersey on the tip of the Wirral. The town is built up of seven townships (Liscard, Seacombe, Egremont, New Brighton, Wallasey Village, Merseyside and Leasowe) these villages all grew into each other when the Queensway Tunnel under the River Mersey from Liverpool opened in 1934.

Liscard is the main shopping centre, and a popular place to shop is The Cherry Tree Shopping Centre. New Brighton, which developed from 1830 with the ferry link to Liverpool, featured the tallest building in Britain, the New Brighton Tower, between its completion in 1898 and its demolition in 1919-21. New Brighton became one of the most popular holiday resorts in north-west England, but declined into the 1969, at the end of which the remaining Tower buildings and the ferry service to Liverpool were lost. The Promenade Pier, which dated from the 1860's, was closed in the 1970s and finally demolished in 1978.
