Built as residential, the square has been taken over by offices for many decades. It was developed as the heart of William Laird's new town of Birkenhead, but outside the square developers were unable or unwilling to afford the sumptuous classical style of architecture and it remains an island of classicism in otherwise mundane surroundings.
